In the dead of the night

On the phone my daughter Ronja. Out there, where we usually deposit the trash, there are two wooden boxes. A big one and a smaller, long one.

Ronja knows her father, knows that he is a collector and hunter, hunting from one fleamarket to the next. The devil knows why.

In the boxes are filmreels, looks old, and a projector – or is it a camera? Everything looks old, she says. And „Thought it might be interesting for you“. Ronja often thinks right, this time is no exception.

This is the story Pesche Maurer told us of his daughters and his find. Nobody knows who put this treasure into the trash to begin with. Next day, Pesche brought it to the Lichtspiel, where we will now catalogue the lot. Hopefully we will be able to watch some of the films on the big screen.
