Calgary Cinematheque & NMC Present: FAUST

Experience one of silent cinema's greatest masterpieces as F. W. Murnau's Faust (1926) makes its debut at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre. This 100th-anniversary screening brings the film back to the big screen the way audiences first heard it, with a live score performed on the Allen Theatre Organ. Chris Maric performs a new score, playing a one-man orchestra against this landmark of German Expressionist cinema. Expect demons, angels, and a bargain with the devil in 100 minutes of sound that shakes heaven and hell. Last year's Phantom of the Opera sold out early, so secure your spot while you can. Calgary Cinematheque is also screening other late works by Murnau throughout the month. Buy a Faust ticket before the deadline to receive a discount code for the full series pass.
