Sherlock Jr - 3PM
In this discount-priced matinee show, silent-movie icon Buster Keaton stars in one of Time Magazine’s “All-Time 100 Best Films”—the hilarious tale of a hapless projectionist who daydreams his ways into the movies.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari - 7PM
In the first of two German Expressionist classics in the film fest, the mad mesmerist of the title and his faithful servant, Cesare, are at the heart of a series of mysterious murders when the carnival comes to town. Or are they? Wait for the famous twist ending…
Nosferatu - 9PM
The granddaddy of all vampire films, F.W. Murnau’s loose (and unauthorized) adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula stars Max Schreck as the perennially chilling prince of the undead, Count Orlock.
