Hammershøi and Dreyer
Dreyer after Hammershøi
Each screening in this cycle of the essential films of Carl Theodor Dreyer will be preceded by a lecture by a specialist in a different field. The cycle will present different approaches to the exhibition’s central themes: the connections between the painter Vilhelm Hammershøi and the filmmaker Carl Th. Dreyer with regard to the dramatic intensity, austerity, light and silence of their creations.
