CineSonica #3 : NOSFERATU

Saturday, Nov. 1
Two performances: 2pm and 8pm

Ciné Sonica is a series of live film concerts curated by composer Mihoko Suzuki, and performed by Suzuki along with a rotating ensemble of musicians. In previous installments, the musicians performed to Eraserhead and Battleship Potemkin. 

For the third installment—the Halloween edition—Suzuki and her musicians will play to a silent classic of German Expressionist cinema, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (Nosferatu, Eine Symphonie Des Grauens, F.W. Murnau, 1922). Ciné Sonica's approach to Nosferatu blends tones, textures, ambiences and timbral effects, resulting in a spectral sonic accompaniment to Murnau's retelling of Dracula. Tickets go fast for these unique, scored performances, so we recommend buying your tickets in advance. 

About the Film
Casting a long and terrifying shadow over the genre, German silent film master F. W. Murnau's uncredited appropriation of Bram Stoker's Dracula set the standard for all vampire flicks to come. Max Schreck’s monstrous Count Orlok is singularly frightening, repulsive and beastly, where Bela Lugosi was courtly and Christopher Lee seductive. DIR F. W. Murnau; SCR Henrik Galeen, from the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker; PROD Enrico Dieckmann, Albin Grau. Germany, 1922, b&w/hand-tinted color, 94 min. (American Film Institute)

Tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for youth under 18. It is recommended to reserve in advance, as these tend to sell out. Payment options: Purchase your tickets for either performance with the TICKETS link above, or pay at the door. 

Doors open a half hour before the the time listed. Refreshments will be available.
