Stephan Graf v. Bothmer:
The film illuminates the alienation and loneliness of an individual
in a world that is becoming increasingly anonymous, and depicts the
protagonist's life in an emotional depth that directly affects the viewer.
With its
realistic depiction of struggles and failures and brilliant camera angles, The
Crowd stands out from many other silent films of its time. Vidor skillfully
combines dramatic elements with a precise visual aesthetic that reflects the
main character's inner conflicts. The film remains a significant example of the
use of film as a tool for social reflection and personal narratives.
With his spectacular silent film concerts, Stephan Graf v. Bothmer fills theaters and
concert halls on five continents. He has performed at the Schleswig-Holstein
Festival and the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, as well as in Berlin at the
Admiralspalast, the Wintergarten Varieté and the Berlin Cathedral, as well as
at the Rock-Pop Festival at Tempelhof Airport after Björk, Blur and the Pet
Shop Boys.
Bothmer's
compositions are characterized by an irrepressible joy of playing and
virtuosity that combines echoes of Chopin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and
electronic music in a unique way.
