Spanish Dancer 1923 / USA / 105′ / Black & White / English with Turkish Subtitles

Director: Herbert Brenon | Screenplay: Jean L. Sagal | Cast: Pola Negri, Antonio Moreno, Edward Arnold | Cinematographer: James Wong Howe | Music: Louis Silvers | Producer: Adolph Zukor

Directed by Herbert Brenon, Spanish Dancer (1923) stands out as an unforgettable masterpiece from the golden age of cinema. Bringing the richness of Spanish culture and the intensity of passion to the screen, this romantic drama delves into the depths of dance, love and betrayal. Starring Pola Negri, the film tells the story of Carmen, one of the most memorable characters of the era, with the elegant visual style of 1920s cinema.
The film follows the thrilling and passionate life Carmen leads at the royal court in Spain. As a dancer, her bold manner, as much as her beauty and talent, makes her a figure known throughout Spain. But a love affair full of secrets and hidden betrayals pulls Carmen into an unexpected journey.

Pola Negri’s compelling performance and the film’s masterful portrayal of the dance culture of its time make Spanish Dancer not just a romantic story but also a visual feast. With Herbert Brenon’s direction and the creative use of visual effects, the film offers a perfect blend of historical drama and dance.

One of the unforgettable examples of silent cinema, Spanish Dancer meets audiences in this special screening accompanied by a live piano performance by Ayşe Tütüncü.

Accompanying the scenes in real time throughout the film, the live music offers the chance to experience cinema and music at the same time, drawing viewers more deeply into the film’s emotional world. This special screening offers the experience of watching the timeless storytelling of silent cinema accompanied by live music.
