Before vampires sparkled, there was Nosferatu. One of the silent era's most influential masterpieces, Nosferatu's eerie, gothic feel - and a chilling performance from Max Shrek as the vampire -- set the template for the horror films that followed. Kick off the CSI Stage Door series with a very special screening of Nosferatu following the Laurel and Hardy classic silent short, Liberty, featuring live organ accompaniment by Sean Rogers. Sean Rogers has won praise and acclaim nationally and internationally for his artistic mastery at the keyboard. As a classical and jazz organist, Rogers has performed piano and organ concertos with numerous orchestras in the Pacific Northwest and is sought out as an organist for silent movies across the country.
Join CSI professor Shane Brown for a free pre-performance lecture at 6 p.m. in Fine Arts 119 to discuss Nosferatu - its significance, the mythology surrounding it, what to expect, and how it compares and contrasts with Bram Stoker's Dracula and modern vampire lore in pop culture.
