De mystiske Z-Straaler

George Schnéevoigt, 1915

MOST WANTED | The film is also known as ‘The Skeleton Dance’ and ‘The Dance of Death’. The preserved still images do not reveal whether the film actually features a dancer lit up by X-rays to reveal the bones inside. How might one of Danish film’s most talented cinematographers of the time, George Schnéevoigt, have solved this technical challenge? Our curiosity is further piqued by the fact that he was also the director and screenwriter on this film, and we would love to see the result.
