Film Club Screening

Today from 17:00-20.00 hrs, HVL/BuzzHouse’s Co-Working Space will be used by the UvA Film Club for their weekly screening.

This week's film is Where the North Begins (dir. Chester M. Franklin, 1923), with an introduction by Stefan Glowacki.

In the snowy forests surrounding the 'Caribou' trade post roams The Wolf-Dog - a foundling adopted by a wolf pack and raised according to the law of the wilderness. Though the feral ways run deep, they have to surrender to the kindness of the heart when The Wolf-Dog finds Gabrielle, a fur trader caught up in an intrigue orchestrated by the cunning trade post manager, Shad. This is the plot of *Where the North Begins*, a 1923 American silent film featuring Rin Tin Tin, the canine star of silent cinema, in his first leading role. It is the film that reportedly saved Warner Bros. from bankruptcy and launched Rin Tin Tin into international stardom. Surely, a restaging of the mythical scene of domestication, but shown in a way that cannot be reduced to a tale of human mastery.
