Sometimes movies just stick with audiences long after their initial release. First released in March 1922, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror has managed to haunt film-goers for a century, and now one local event in Arnold will celebrate the enduring impact of this piece of cinema.
The gothic classic will be coming to The Bonington on Sunday, April 3 at 7.30pm.
Bristol quartet Minima will perform live during the screening, creating an original, live score to one of the silent era’s masterpieces.
The eerie, Gothic feel, combined with a chilling performance from Max Shrek as the vampire has set the template for many horror films that followed.
Darkly humorous and tender too, this is a story of yearning and the search for fulfilment.
Minima specialise in creating live accompaniment to screenings of silent films, performing on a variety of instruments including cello, double bass, baritone guitar, acoustic and electric guitars and mandolin to create a unique live experience.
With an array of acclaimed performances at venues including the Barbican Centre, BFI Southbank, Glastonbury Festival and the Transylvania International Film Festival, Minima have also recorded original music for short films by contemporary filmmakers.
Nosferatu can be seen at The Bonnington on Sunday, April 3 at 7.30pm.
