Self-reflexive storylines that dealt with film-making, visiting the cinema and the film industry itself were popular material in the early days of film. A classic example here is the comedy Das Teufelchen (The Imp)<\/strong>, missing for decades and only rediscovered and restored in 2014 by the Austrian Film Museum. The co-producer of the film, Wanda Treumann, herself played the leading role of a young typist who marries her much older boss, making her rich but far from happy. Even before the wedding, someone films her without her knowing as she flirts with an impoverished artist. When this recording is made public, it leads to a scandal \u2013 and finally to Wanda\u2019s new career as a film star.
\nThe themes of class differences as well as entanglements involving money and love, the subject of so many films by Rosa Porten, are given an interesting new twist in this modern fairy tale. Dressed up as a light comedy, Das Teufelchen<\/strong> is a vehicle for what is a truly feminist concern: a confident woman hailing from disadvantaged social circumstances for whom the prison of marriage constitutes a far less attractive prospect than a career in film.<\/p>\n

Wanda Treumann first worked as an actress from 1910 to 1922, then also as a producer in the film business. Together with husband Karl Treumann and Danish actor and film pioneer Viggo Larsen, she founded the Treumann-Larsen-Film-Vertriebs-GmbH in 1912, for whom Rosa Porten and Franz Eckstein, among others, made several films. As a producer, Treumann was responsible for over eighty films.<\/p>\n

Recent film history research revealed that behind the pseudonym\u00bb Dr. R. Portegg\u00ab were the couple Rosa Porten and Franz Eckstein. Born 1884, Rosa Porten was previously, if at all, known as the sister of silent-movie star Henny Porten, yet she was one of the first women involved in the early days of film, as a performer, writer and director of many comedies and dramas. IFFF Dortmund+K\u00f6ln in 2015 showed Wanda’s Trick<\/strong> and Der neueste Stern vom Variet\u00e9<\/strong>, both of which she directed.<\/p>\n
