'The Tower of Silence' (German: 'Der Turm des Schweigens') is a 1925 German mystic melodrama directed by Johannes Guter and starring Xenia Desni and Nigel Barrie. 'The Tower of Silence' is a silent film, and one of the few films by Guter to survive. In 2007, it became the director's first film to be restored for modern audiences.
