100 Years of Peter Thomas

The German Film Institute and Film Museum (DFF) in Frankfurt will pay special tribute to composer Peter Thomas on the occasion of his 100th birthday by presenting a selection of his films in November.

This homage celebrates the versatile film composer Peter Thomas, whose imaginative use of diverse instruments and sound devices left a lasting mark on popular West German cinema of the 1960s and 1970s. From Edgar Wallace and Jerry Cotton to Simmel adaptations and works by directors such as Will Tremper and Zbyněk Brynych, the series offers a cinematic cross-section featuring many of the era’s stars.
