Sands Films Cinema Club season of screen adaptations of the work of Emile Zola.
We continue with a silent version of GERMINAL made 80 years before that of Claude Berri: a rarely screened silent film of 1913 produced in the naturalistic style of the “Theatre Libre”.
In 1884 Zola traveled to a poor rural district of France to observe the living and working conditions of striking coal miners. The novel he wrote about that experience, Germinal, was instrumental in winning justice for the workers, who existed in a condition little better than slavery.
This film is completely silent and will be presented without music.
2h 20 minutes
