Nosferatu: Silent Movie Screening with Live Score

Silent Screen Scotland presents "Nosferatu", a silent movie screening of this cinematic classic accompanied by live score.

Dunblane Cathedral Halls will provide the atmospheric setting for the screening which will be accompanied by a live pianist performing the original score by Hans Erdmann. This event is suitable for ages 10+.

“Nosferatu" – the infamous 1922 German adaption of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula” was an unauthorised and unofficial adaption of Stoker’s vampire classic. It sees various names and other details changed from the novel, including Count Dracula being renamed Count Orlok. It is believed by many that these changes were implemented in an attempt to avoid accusations of copyright infringement. Even with several details altered, Stoker’s heirs sued over the adaption – at one point all copies of the film were ordered to be destroyed! Thankfully a few prints of “Nosferatu” survived and the film came to be regraded as an influential masterpiece of cinema.

This abridged screening of Nosferatu has a running time of c60mins. Children must have their own ticket and be accompanied by a paying adult.
