Naked women, whether bathing, dancing, swimming, at the slave market, in the artist’s studio or as a sculpture brought to life – they are the main actresses of the films of gentleman’s night. Inspired by the French, the photographer Johann Schwarzer had the idea of recording naked flesh on celluloid in his Vienna attic studio, and in 1906 he began production as Saturn Film, evidently becoming an overnight success. These erotic clips are the first dramatic Austrian films, and at the same time early examples of a “cinema of attractions”.

Music: Florian C. Reithner (piano)
