The handover between Bergamo Film Meeting and Bergamo Jazz is set for Sunday afternoon, March 16, and will take place in two consecutive moments. A screening of Nóż w wodzie by Roman Polański, with the soundtrack composed by pianist John Lewis, and performed by the Krzysztof Komeda.

Following this, the program of the evening will feature a live scoring by Danilo Gallo (electric bass, balalaika and effects) of Ernst Lubitsch’s slapstick Kohlhiesels Töchter.

The film copy comes from the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Stiftung in Wiesbaden.
