Event Details
Join us for this silent horror classic loosely based on Bram Stoker's novel, "Dracula." The vampire count (Max Schreck) leaves his sinister castle in the Carpathian mountains to sail on a doomed ship bringing him to 1838 Bremen where his dark deeds are undone by a brave young woman and the first light of dawn. Directed by F.W. Murnau, the German production is most notable for its eerie portrayal of the vampire in images which seem to personify evil and dread in a movie even more remarkable for having been filmed mostly on location rather than in the controlled confines of a studio.*
About Horizons of Hope:
In 1995, Pope John Paul II released the Vatican Film List- a list of forty-five films significant to the Catholic faith. Among them were the German Expressionist SciFi film, Metropolis (1927); the 1933 classic film adaption of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, an early talkie whose cast includes a young Katharine Hepburn; and the 1922 adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula, Nosferatu. What do these films have to do with our Faith? Join us and moderator Dr. Matthew Clemente, Director of Research and Curriculum at the Center for Psychological Humanities and Ethics at Boston College, for a film festival celebrating art and spirituality with three classic films, three compelling post-show conversations, and of course, a lot of popcorn.
