Museum and a Movie: The Great Leap
Date: Thursday, October 17, 2024
Time: 7–9pm
Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue
Before becoming a controversial figure in film history, Leni Riefenstahl was known for her early Bergfilme, or "mountain films," a Weimer-era German film genre showcasing adventure in the Alps. The Great Leap (Der große Sprung) is a silent romantic comedy starring Riefenstahl as an Italian mountain villager whose life is turned upside down by tourists on a ski trip. Start your evening with a free Miami Beach Culture Crawl guided tour of our exhibition The Big World: Alternative Landscapes in the Modern Era at 6:15pm, followed by the screening.
Co-organized with the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany.
