The Enchanted Cinema’s ambitious new project spans the revolutionary decade of the 1920s and features some of its most daring and innovative film-makers whose experiments in cinema-craft shaped everything to follow, from horror to Hitchcock to sci-fi.
Featuring a mind-blowing selection of scenes from the work of Lotte Reineger (The Adventures of Prince Achmed), Fritz Lang (Metropolis), Walter Ruttman (Opus II), F W Murnau (Nosferatu )and Robert Wiene (The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari)
Each excerpt has its own original score written and performed live by The Enchanted Cinema.
The Cabinet of Living Cinema is an organisation dedicated to providing participatory live cinema events which explore the heritage of film, literature, fine art, poetry and the heritage of landscape, which provides an environment for musicians, illustrators and filmmakers to collaborate, develop their skills and experiment, which supports organisations and bodies that promote, protect and explore the heritage as listed above. As such, our organisation does not have the aim of making profit.
