CENES SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow\, Matthew Tomkinson\, will be performing a live score t o Anders als die Andern\, and Dr. Ervin Malakaj will be introducing the film.

< p>This event is part of a new series of performances that combine cinema wi th live music\, movement\, theatre\, and more.

Local experimental mus ic duo Magazinist have produced remarkable original scores for silent films such as Metropolis\, Faust\, and Vampyr. We're thrilled to present their newest score\, reworking the groundbreaking 1919 film Anders als die A ndern (Different from the Others). This film\, produced in Weimar Germ any\, contains one of the earliest sympathetic depictions of gay men on scr een. Written as a polemical response to a law criminalizing homosexuality\,  Anders was a film revolution which provoked violent reactions fro m the rising Nazi party. Censorship laws were enacted to prevent its distri bution\, the writer and director were forced into exile\, and nearly all co pies of the film were burnt by the Nazis as "decadent art." Through a remar kable act of preservation\, this film was partially restored (50 of the ori ginal 90 minutes)\, allowing modern audiences to witness some of the earlie st organized campaigns for LGBTQ+ rights. Magazinist will bring this vital piece of history to life with an all new original score of electro-acoustic music.

The event will begin with a brief introducti on on the film's history and cultural context by Ervin Malakaj\, professor of German Studies at the University of British Columbia and a uthor of Anders als die Andern\, a book which explores the film in depth.
