    F. W. Murnau's Faust (1926), which tells the classic and chilling tale of a sorcerer who sells his soul to the Devil for knowledge, is one of the greatest silent films in history — a wildly imaginative classic of German Expressionism. SFJAZZ presents a special Halloween showing of this rarely-screened classic, with live jazz accompaniment by the acclaimed Willem Breuker Kollektief.

    NOTE: The Kollektief will be performing Willem Breuker's original score to Faust. Mr. Breuker will not be performing as he is unable to travel due to health concerns.
