The Goethe-Institut Thailand invites you to the 6th year of the Silent Film Festival. The festival will open with the alpine thriller THE FIGHT FOR MATTERHORN. The story is based on a true historical account of two climbing parties in a race to summit one of the highest peaks in the Alps. Anton Carrel is an Italian mountain guide hired by English climber Edward Whymper, who has eyes for Carrel’s wife. The joint expedition fails, and the two climbers go their separate ways. Years later, their fates are once again entwined as they compete to reach the summit of the Matterhorn from two different cliffs.
The festival runs over the course of 3 days showing 5 silent films from the 1910s and 1920s. More information is available on the
website of the Thai Film Archive.
