Special event of the closing night will be The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg (1927), Lubitsch’s sparkling Mitteleuropa comedy about a prince falling in love with a waitress at the university in Heidelberg. Mega-stars Norma Shearer and Ramon Novarro were equally popular in sound films, and the pleasure they had in making this film together continues to enchant audiences.

This orchestral event will close on Saturday Oct. 7 this year’s Giornate with a second screening on Sunday Oct. 8. The film score was composed by world-famous conductor-composer Carl Davis and will be played by the Orchestra San Marco, conducted by maestro Mark Fitz-Gerald.
