DVD The Oyster Princess

At the film festival two years ago, Peter Vermeersch and his band Flat Earth Society (FES) accompanied the screening of the Ernst Lubitsch movie The Oyster Princess with live music. The result of this experiment has recently appeared on DVD. The Oyster Princess is a satirical silent movie about an oyster tycoon who wants to marry off his daughter, which turns out to be more difficult than expected. Apart from the Oyster Princess, the DVD also contains a second film that was accompanied with music by FES: de 12de grote prijs van Brasschaet 1932 (The 12th cycle race of Brasschaet). This used to be a very famous international bicycle race, attracting busloads of supporters. Jules Van Volxem made a beautiful report of this race on nitrate film, which is also a fascinating document of historical importance and a hilarious tranche de vie. This DVD is a co-production of the Royal Film Archives in Brussels and Bonk vzw, with the support of the Ghent Film Festival and the Flemish Community.
