Behind the Scenes of "The Secret Adventures of the Projectionist": http://blip.tv/file/2239244

Englische Synopsis: The Secret Adventures of the Projectionist starring Nikolai Kinski and Senta Dorothea Kirschner, tells the (very short) story of a cinema projectionist (Kinski) who becomes entangled in a dangerous liaison with a silver screen femme fatale (Kirschner). Spanning several cinema styles from silent movie to sword and scandals Technicolor to Film Noir, the film was shot on 16mm film in under four days in Berlin, Germany using old cameras from the Soviet Union.



Englische Werkbeschreibung: The Secret Adventures of the Projectionist tells the short story of a cinema projectionist who discovers a mysterious film and upon projecting it, becomes enamored with a siren-like actress who lures him into the film, only to betray him in order to escape the film and turn into color. Featuring fantastic performances by acclaimed actor Nikolai Kinski (son of legendary actor Klaus Kinski) and Senta Dorothea Kirschner, the film is essentially a series of homage scenes ranging from the silent film of the early 1920s, to Technicolor 'sword and scandal' epics, to classical Film Noir. The story takes us from the laboratory of a mad scientist to the catacombs of ancient Rome to the streets of Nazi occupied Europe in an authentic aesthetic crafted with meticulous attention to detail: The Secret Adventures of the Projectionist was shot on 16mm film using a combination of vintage cameras from the former Soviet Union and modern Arri equipment and was partially processed by hand using a Russian Lomo tank. Shot in four consecutive days by a team of young, undiscovered students and filmmakers and on a non-existent budget the film is testimony to the fact that it is possible to shoot on celluloid with restricted finances. Written, Directed and Produced by Max Sacker, Cinematography by Dustin Wallrap, Executive Producer Heleen Gerritsen of A-Film productions.

Englische Synopsis: It's Charlie Chaplin's birthday party and a desert town in western India - home to the world's largest population of Tramp impersonators - is throwing a party. A wonderful, mad poignant story of resilience and hope.

Englische Werkbeschreibung: “It’s Charlie Chaplin’s birthday party in Adipur, India – and we’re bringing the cake.” — Adipur is a small desert town in Kutch district in the state of Gujarat, on the edge of western India’s famous salt plains. Adipur is the unlikely home of the world’s largest population of Charlie Chaplin impersonators. The Charlie Circle of Adipur embraces businessmen, shopkeepers, a doctor who prescribes Chaplin movies for medicinal purposes, teachers, engineers, students and a three-year-old pre-schooler. They all share a passion for the silent film star of the early 1900s, with his twirling cane, wobbly walk and agitated eyebrows. Award-winning Australian film-maker Kathryn Millard stumbled across the beguiling Charlie Circle during research for another film project. She was immediately invited to join their 116th birthday celebrations, which included a parade of Charlie look-alikes through town along with dancing girls, floats, strolling musicians and a camel. Would she do them the honour of bringing the grand centrepiece: the birthday cake?

>>

And not just any cake, but one in the shape of a boot, as homage to the famous scene in The Gold Rush, where the starving Tramp boils and eats his own boot. This was the improbable beginning of an intriguing journey, which takes us from the luxurious kitchens of a posh Mumbai hotel, into the bustle and exuberance of India, where Chaplin is at home on shrines alongside revered Hindu god Krishna. Along the way, we’re introduced to some of the world’s earliest Chaplin imitators including Australia’s Ern Vockler. After all, Charlie lookalikes were on the scene long before Elvis. We meet a host of Charlie devotees: Dr. Aswani, the founder of the Charlie Circle, Tollywood and Bollywood megastar Kamal Hassan, young aspiring actor, Viswajeet and the urbane Mumbai Charlie, Prevan. We ponder the spiritual resonance felt by so many people for the battler with his toothbrush moustache and baggy pants. The Boot Cake explores how one community, reeling from the tragedy of the Gujarat earthquake that killed 200,000 people, finds hope and inspiration in the comic genius of Charlie Chaplin, one of the global icons of the past century. We see through their eyes, the pathos and humour of his unique physical comedy and the bitter-sweetness of his philosophies. And in moments of pure Chaplinesque absurdity we find ourselves sharing Kathryn’s concern that the chocolate truffle sponge with the cashew marzipan icing will melt in the 50 degree heat. Funny, poignant and thought-provoking, The Boot Cake layers film clips, impersonators, interviews with behind the scenes footage of Charlie’s Adipur birthday party. It is a story of resilience, unorthodox spirituality and ultimately, the power of cinema.
