9/6 - The Onyx Downtown and The Nevada City Film Festival are excited to announce the newest collaborative screening with legendary rock band The Invincible Czars, as they perform live musical accompaniment for THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI! The world’s first feature-length horror film THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI tells the story of a group of friends who encounter the mysterious doctor and his scary, sleepwalking sidekick Cesare at a carnival. When a series of murders brings the town to its knees, Franzis sets out to prove Caligari is responsible… but is he? The Invincible Czars perform their nightmarish-ly fun soundtrack along with the film as an immersive live experience, transporting audiences back 100+ years via an age-old tale accompanied by a chilling, tastefully-modern score featuring an impressive blend of traditional acoustic and present-day electric instruments. From delicate passages of longing and love to menacing motifs of dissonant horror and pain, each instrument plays a critical role establishing character themes and creating an aural dreamscape for the film. TICKETS $20 in advance; $25 at the door.
