Sunrise: A song of two humans

This lyrical masterpiece from the director of Nosferatu, a pinnacle of silent cinema, is a study of betrayal, love and reconciliation.

This screening features live multi-instrumental accompaniment from Stephen Horne on piano and Elizabeth-Jane Baldry on harp.

Seduced by a vamp from the city, an unsophisticated farmer in a country village plans to murder his wife. However, on their journey to reach town, the couple rediscover their love for each other in a dazzling jazz age sequence. With its dreamlike realism, fluid camera work and simple, intense images of unequalled beauty, this adds up to one of the most enchanting experiences in the history of cinema.
