Flaherty's Nanook of the North is considered the first documentary
feature film and is an early example of cinema's fascination with exotic,
unknown worlds. The film follows the life of the Inuit Nanook and his family in
the far north of Canada and documents their daily challenges and survival
strategies in the Arctic. Flaherty's elaborate production and impressive nature
shots capture the harshness and beauty of this region.

Although
the film is now critically scrutinized for its staged scenes, Nanook of the
North remains a fundamental moment in the history of documentary
filmmaking. The film's narrative influenced later generations of documentary
filmmakers and shaped the portrayal of cultures from afar. Nanook offers a
fascinating insight into an almost unknown world and remains a key work of
early cinema.
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.
