Centennial screening, featuring a live original score by the Invincible Czars!

The Invincible Czars celebrate 100 years of FW Murnau's silent masterpiece Faust (1926). Their brand new electrifying score marries new and old elements of classical music, bossa nova and even a touch of heavy metal to bring the movie to life for contemporary audiences and incorporates a mix of instruments like flute, violin and electric guitar.

About Faust (1926)

In FW Murnau’s silent-era German Expressionist version of this centuries old legend, an elderly alchemist named Faust (Gösta Ekman) makes a pact with the demon Mephisto (Emil Jannings) to gain the power to protect his village from plague. Faust soon succumbs to temptation and asks Mephisto to restore his youth and help him acquire all the hedonistic pleasures that earth can offer. Eventually, his love affair with a young woman named Gretchen (Camilla Horn) leads to tragic and devastating consequences for them both.
