NOT SO SILENT MOVIE
Nosferatu (1922)
8pm Saturday 10 May
St Mary’s Church, BS28 4AA
With the new and far more bloodcurdling re-make in the news this year, we look back on the original and iconic black and white version.
Newly re-mastered and fully restored, this film shocked and terrified audiences at the time, but now 100-plus years on, perhaps it feels a little tamer? That is not to say it isn’t a cinematic masterpiece.
Catch this rare opportunity to see the original in all its glory, accompanied by organ music as it would have been in movie halls of old, composed and played live by our own Liam Davies. The proceeds from this event will be donated to the St Mary’s Church organ fund.
With an introduction from James Harrison, co-director of silent film organisation South West Silents, discover the background to this first screen adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Don’t miss Max Schreck’s Count Orlock – bald, bat-eared and the rabbit-toothed stuff of nightmares.
