Cinema Symphony / Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror / Where Fear Dwells

Cinema Symphony / Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror / Where Fear Dwells revitalizes the legendary 1922 classic, *Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror* directed by the pioneering German filmmaker Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau. Drawing from Bram Stoker’s 1897 Gothic novel about vampirism and inspired by the sinister legend of 15th‑century Wallachian ruler Vlad Dracula, the film captures the uncanny and eerie mood that permeated post‑World War I Germany, fully expressed through German Expressionist cinema. Murnau’s groundbreaking storytelling harnesses natural locations, masterful lighting, clever editing and composition to turn simple shadows and the bare sway of tree branches into terrifying images as powerful—and haunting—as Count Orlok’s looming silhouette. Though released in an era before computer‑generated effects, the film’s demonic atmosphere remains potent, continuing to haunt audiences worldwide. Intertitles are presented in German, with Polish and English subtitles available for a wider global audience. Anita Skwara accompanies the film, adding a contemporary layer to this enduring classic. Experience the timeless terror and cinematic brilliance of *Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror* through this unique concert film presentation.
