A.W. Sandberg var Nordisk Films ledende instruktør fra 1916 til han i 1926 brød med selskabet i forbindelse med produktionen af 'Klovnen'. Han færdiggjorde filmen for egne midler, da selskabet ikke ønskede at understøtte hans økonomiske dispositioner. 'Klovnen' er nok det mest gennemførte internationale drama i 1920ernes danske filmproduktion. Filmen er en genindspilning af A.W. Sandbergs egen film fra ti år tidligere, hvor Valdemar Psilander spillede hovedrollen. Filmen er nyrestaureret fra en sikringskopi af originalnegativet, der ikke længere eksisterer. Den præsenteres her i en tintet HD-version. 'Nedbrudte Nerver' er en underholdende detektivhistorie med Gorm Schmidt i rollen som journalisten Erik Brandt, der søger at redde kvinden han elsker fra at blive arresteret for mord. A.W. Sandberg optræder selv i filmen i rollen som filminstruktør. 'Nedbrudte Nerver' er digitalt restaureret fra originalnegativet og præsenteres her i en tintet version baseret på de oprindelige notater i negativet.
A.W. Sandberg was the leading director at the Nordisk Films Kompagni from 1916 until 1926. He broke with the company due to their lack of support of his financial dispositions in connection with the production of 'The Golden Clown'. He finished the film on his own funds. 'The Golden Clown' is one of the best international quality films in Danish silent cinema. It develops the love triangle between the lovable clown, the circus princess and the Parisian bon vivant. Like so many films of the silent era, it is a tale of the old rural world and the glamour and danger in the big city. 'The Golden Clown' is a remake of Sandberg’s own highly successful film from 1917, which starred Valdemar Psilander. The presented version is a new digital restoration tinted in HD. 'The Hill Park Mystery' is an entertaining detective story, where our hero, the tabloid journalist, tries to save the woman he has fallen in love with. It is a speedy comedy with many one-liners, very much in the style of Hollywood productions at the time. Look out for A.W. Sandberg’s cameo appearance as the film director. 'The Hill Park Mystery' is a digital restoration from the original camera negative, tinted according to the markings in the negative itself.
