"Louis Feuillade swapped the gloomy Paris of his famous serials for Tih-Minh, Nice and the French Mediterranean coast. But even in the friendly light of the south, his heroes, the adventurer Jacques d'Athys, his fiancée Tih-Minh and the loyal servant Placide, are not immune to the persecutions of a gang of villains and enemy agents." (Viennale)
The Rotterdam Kinematic Ensemble, which specialises in live improvised music for silent films, works within the experimental and improvised music scene with variable line-ups. The intense musical improvisation between the musicians and the interaction with the film create a unique audiovisual experience. For their first Swiss performance, the ensemble is teaming up with four leading figures from Zurich's improvisation and live electronics scene, who have already set numerous feature-length silent films to music.
