1924 film
New Year's Eve (German: Sylvester: Tragödie einer Nacht) is a 1924 German silent Kammerspielfilm directed by Lupu Pick and written by Carl Mayer. It was filmed in 1923 and premiered in Berlin on 4 January 1924.[1][2] The film is known to be one of the earliest examples of a kammerspielfilm[3] and was innovative in its extensive use of "entfesselte Kamera", using tracking and gliding techniques as opposed to keeping the camera stationary.[4] Like Pick's previous films, New Year's Eve does not use intertitles.
