Superstition (1919 film)

Militza escapes to the country village of Marienhagen, finding shelter in the house of a local Catholic priest.

When he is subsequently struck dead by a bolt of lightning one evening during Mass, his mother blames Militza and has her cast out of the village.

The leader of the troupe is disappointed with the general lack of artistic talent and begs Militza to leave with him.

An incomplete vintage Dutch release print, missing about one third of he original length, was identified in the nitrate collection of the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam in January 2020.

A black & white preservation negative and a Desmetcolor print were subsequently produced at Haghefilm Digitaal, with funding generously provided by the Sunrise Foundation for Education and the Arts.
