King of the Circus

Max, der Zirkuskönig

1924 | Austria, France | B&W | 64’ | Silent

Director: Édouard-Émile Violet | Producer: Eduard Schnedler-Sørensen | Screenplay: Max Linder | Cast: Max Linder, Eugen Burg, Vilma Bánky

Charles Chaplin's source of inspiration, the French actor Max Linder, was one of the most renowned and influential comedians of silent cinema. His screenplay-written and starring film, “King of the Circus”, became his final film, completed before his suicide in 1925, where he finally realized his childhood dream of the circus world. The film, accompanied by wild costumes and captivating performances, transports the audience into the enchantment of the circus world and tells the story of Count Pompadour, who is coerced into marriage. Max, dissatisfied with the options presented by his family, falls in love with Ketty, the beautiful daughter of a circus manager, and embarks on a crazy adventure that leads him to lion taming, all in pursuit of marrying her. This comedy classic, often compared to Chaplin’s “The Circus” (1928), which he would make four years later, has been long lost but was restored for the first time last year by bringing together fragments found in 11 different film archives.

Restoration by Lobster Films with the support of the CNC and eleven archives throughout the world.

Islandman, a music trio in this realm but a fictional character in reality , is  a musical identity, a visionary who inspired by an island which does not exist,  could not dream the roads they passed by would lead to such interesting and beautiful places...  Islanman's journeys took them to best band award at Montreux Jazz Festival, to a Kecak dance in Bali, stories in streets of Paris, ancient sounds of women in Bulgaria's mountains. Aşık Veysel in Anatolia, Worldwide FM in London, Tuareg's hypnotic music in Mali deserts, being a guest in Elton John's radio show, an amazing musical trip to Boiler Room series, studio sessions with Bongo Ent. in Denmark, softest women vocals in South America and much much more experience which they do not want to prolong by writing.  Islandman managed to become an alternative existence and form a family with extraordinary members from many places around the world. Sharp mind of Tolga Böyük in production and deep stories in music, Erdem Başer's psychedelic guitar riffs which takes listeners to alternative worlds, Eralp Güven's 4-beat-diversified rhythms, turn Islandman's performance into a musical clinic, a shamanic ritual with collected sounds from the paths that they walk . They take listeners to a deep musical journey with sincerity.  Just like all healers, shamans and spirits who are self-aware, Islandman, covers a whole different ground to their listeners in concerts, opens the door to alternative existences... Passing through this door and meeting with Islandman on the other side  is exclusive to one's own intention and dream…
