Silent film concert with Stephan Graf Bothmer

A scientist invents a ray that can stop time and puts Paris to sleep. The young night watchman of the Eiffel Tower, Albert, discovers one morning from a lofty height that all life in Paris has suddenly frozen. 


Few people, even at high altitude, like some passengers who landed in Paris early in the morning, have escaped its mysterious effects and find themselves alone in a sleeping city.

The lexicon of international film saw Paris Sleeps as a surrealistic silent film “that set standards both as an early science fiction material and through its humor and the originality of the camera technology.”
