A cornerstone of the horror film, F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is resurrected from the acclaimed 35mm restoration by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung. This digital print offers unprecedented visual clarity and historical faithfulness to the original release version.

An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu remains to many viewers the most unsettling vampire film ever made, and its bald, spidery vampire, personified by the diabolical Max Schreck, continues to spawn imitations in the realm of contemporary cinema.

A silent film has no synchronized recorded sound or dialogue. Words are conveyed through stylized gestures, pantomime and title cards. Technology for synchronized dialogue was only made practical in the late 1920s. By 1930 "talkies" became more and more commonplace. Popular production of silent films ceased shortly thereafter.

We are proud to screen some timeless and historic masterpieces. These wonderful screen gems are enhanced by live piano accompaniment from Cleveland native David Drazin, an accomplished virtuoso with a talent for playing off the cuff. David selects the perfect piece from his impressive mental repertoire to heighten the viewing experience for our audience. In addition to knowing just the right thing to play for any silent film imaginable, David is also an expert in jazz, classical, blues, and boogie-woogie. Having his talent truly makes our Silent September Series something to behold. Come share in the experience!
