The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)

Sunday, October 27th at 7PM

Tickets $7 at the door.

At a carnival in Germany, Francis and his friend Alan encounter the crazed DR. CALIGARI. The men see Caligari showing off his somnambulist (sleepwalker), Cesare, a hypnotized man who the doctor claims can see into the future. Shockingly, Cesare then predicts Alan's death, and by morning his chilling prophecy has come true -- making Cesare the prime suspect. However, is Cesare guilty, or is the doctor controlling him? Or is it that other guy that also seems guilty?

THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI is a spooky silent cinema classic. Released in 1920, it's a quintessential film of the style known as German Expressionism. The sets and costumes are meticulously crafted in a surreal, strange and twisted manner that strikes an extremely unique mood that cinema hasn't quite seen since.

Featuring an original live music score from the Denver-based silent movie band Arm Noir. A bit about the musicians:
