Eye-to-eye introduction by Christine Noll Brinckmann, film theorist, Berlin.

This legendary classic with Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart is an unusual genre mix of love story, adventure and war film. Elephants play a small but nonetheless crucial supporting role. Almost like an archetype, the film combines the elements of Western cinematic projections on ‘Africa’. However, today’s audiences might be challenged in an entirely different manner by the film’s cinematographic potency than during the time of its first release.
