FILM SCREENING
Nosferatu (1922): Centenary Screening at St Mary Redcliffe with Live Music
DOORS: 19:00 FILM STARTS 19:30
Join us for our inaugural screening at St Mary Redcliffe this November for a spine-chilling screening to celebrate 100 years since the release of Nosferatu.
This cornerstone of German Expressionist silent film is a thinly veiled retelling of Bram Stoker’s Dracula – and the first ever screen adaptation of the story – with the famed actor Max Schreck delivering a truly ghoulish performance as the titular vampire.
The film will be accompanied by a live soundtrack courtesy of Bristol-based quartet Minima, who specialise in spellbinding contemporary accompaniments to silent films. Their performance for the centenary of this seminal film is an event not to be missed!
