MagicCon 3 | Vortrag | Filme aus 1001 Nacht
The stories of Scheherazade exert a very special attraction on us: Adventures in distant exotic countries with magnificent empires, brave princes, beautiful princesses, evil viziers, djinn, magicians and flying carpets were already filmed in the silent movie era with Sinbad the Sailor and still enjoy great popularity today.
In his lecture, Robert Vogel gives a retrospective of films from the Arabian Nights on MagicCon 6, focuses on the golden age of these films in the 50s and 60s, and deals especially with the ultimate classic of the genre: The Thief of Baghdad (1940)
