Die Nibelungen: Siegried and Kriemhild's Revenge

Berlin: Film-Kurier, 1924. Vintage German programs for the two-part film series "Die Nibelungen," including one for "Die Nibelungen: Siegfried" and one for "Die Nibelungen: Kriemhild's Revenge," produced by German film magazine "Film-Kurier." Text in German.

Based on the thirteenth century epic poem "Nibelungenlied." "Film-Kurier" was the first German film journal, published daily beginning in 1919. The journal's classic era lasted until 1933, when its publisher, Alfred Weiner, had to flee Germany due to his Jewish origins. The issues from this era remain striking to this day because they were printed using a gravure reproduction process. Each day's issue would focus on a single film.

9 x 11.75 inches. Each program six pages, folded loose leaves as issued. Very Good plus, with a horizontal fold, tiny pinholes to the corners, and an occasional short closed tear.

Masters of Cinema 46.
