On Friday November 18th at 8:00pm, the Filmusik Organ Grinders series presents F.W. Murnau’s 1926 silent masterpiece Faust with a live score by 1939 Ensemble.
Faust (1926) The sheer scale of Murnau’s epic and the magnificent play of light, shadow, and mist on his exquisitely designed sets, makes this one of the most cinematically ambitious and visually breathtaking films of the silent era.
1939 Ensemble are an instrumental duo with an unusual line-up: drums, vibraphone & noise. Drawing influence from Jazz, Krautrock & new wave, they move between ominous dissonance noise to sharp bombastic beats.
