Silent Cinema : Nosferatu (Dracula)
Winterbourne Medieval Barn
7.30pm
We are delighted to welcome back to the Barn Chris Green of GreenMatthews, this time bringing a very different kind of show - Silent Cinema with a live musical accompaniment. As we approach Halloween, this 100 year old horror film sets the scene for the season!
Nosferatu (1922) is arguably the film that gave birth to the horror genre. Notable as the first cinematic interpretation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, its combination of expressionistic acting and unforgettable images render it just as powerful and unsettling today as when it first thrilled cinema goers 100 years ago.
Chris Green's new score was commissioned by English Heritage for a live outdoor screening of the film at Dracula’s spiritual home of Whitby Abbey. The music is a haunting blend of electronic and acoustic instruments performed by the composer, and combined with F W Murnau's iconic images, it makes for a genuinely remarkable and unique cinematic experience.
Doors and Bar open from 7pm. Tickets £16 adult, £10 concessions (student, child under 16 and people registered disabled). Book on Ticketsource.co.uk or via the Barn website.
