Nosferatu      F W Murnau (1922; Ger; 15)  Max Schreck, Greta Schroeder

 This is the fourth visit by Sink to the Star and Shadow, each film they’ve tracked has been  extraordinary - deepening enveloping the visual with atmospherics and finesse that take you right into the experience.  They used real-time ice to chill effect for Nanook of the North;  here’s what Sink say about the music they’re preparing for Nosferatu:

“Altered, dismembered and digitally augmented pianos, borrowed from the burgeoning side-project Pianodrome, form the backbone of an all new score.  Near telepathic electronic/acoustic sounds to animate Murnau’s iconic blood-sucking classic. 

This will be an evening of darkenings emanating from the darkness of the age that the Vampire embodies.  Come prepared to be enmeshed in a world of moonlight vaulted tombs bloodless flesh shimmering skin. Remember: the sun will rise.
