The restoration of the silent film "The Fiddler of Florence"

For decades, the silent film "The Fiddler of Florence" (1925/26) by Paul Czinner was only available in a heavily abridged version. Now, with Bertelsmann's support, the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation has digitally restored this jewel from historical Ufa's legacy and expanded it to include the long-lost scenes. The premiere of the restored version of "The Fiddler of Florence", starring the legendary Elisabeth Bergner in a pivotal role, will take place on August 22, 2018 at the UFA Film Nights in Berlin hosted by Bertelsmann und UFA.
