FROM OUR FRIENDS AT EFSP: ELLEN RICHTER, PORDENONE SILENT FILM FESTIVAL

Continued coverage of Pordenone Silent Film Festival from our friends at European Film Star postcards:

ELLEN RICHTER

This year’s biggest retrospective of Le giornate del Cinema Muto, the Pordenone Silent Film Festival, is dedicated to the Austrian-Jewish actress and producer Ellen Richter (1891-1969), a versatile star of Weimar cinema whose enormous popularity was international in scope. During the mid-1910s, Richter caused a sensation as a leading lady in action films. Sadly a large percentage of her films are lost and her name is today almost forgotten, but thanks to the determination of scholars Oliver Hanley and Philipp Stiasny, a number of gems have been discovered in German, Russian, Dutch, and French archives.
