The legendary F.W. Murnau’s first American film is an epic silent drama with groundbreaking cinematography – join us for a special event screening with live improvised score.

Widely acknowledged as one of the crowning achievements of silent cinema, and ranked as the 11th greatest film of all time, this masterpiece of melodrama from F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu) features an emotionally intense love-triangle plot involving adultery and a conflict of good versus evil.

Live score

We are delighted that the screening will be accompanied with improvised live music led by Chris Mapp, Annie Mahtani and guests.
