A cult silent movie will be screened alongside live music in a unique event at Cardigan's Cellar Bar on Sunday, February 6.
On the 100th anniversary of the classic cult movie Nosferatu, the Harcourt players will perform live music to the film.
The duo use guitars, samplers, harmonicas and percussion to bring to life the classic 1922 movie, with their original score.
"The Harcourt players are Simon Othen and Luke Wurmli," said an organiser for the event, which has toured the UK.
"They write and perform their own brand new musical scores for classic silent movies from the early 1900s.
"With the audience focused on the films, The Harcourt Players, positioned to the side of the screen, weave their way through these fascinating films.
"The duo highlight the ups and downs, using an array of instruments such as guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonicas, a variety of percussion and sampler.
"They will be bringing a very modern approach to this 1922 film, creating eerie, joyous or scary soundscapes."
Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is a 1922 silent German Expressionist horror film directed by F. W. Murnau.
It is the first screen adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel ‘Dracula,’ and remains a landmark work of the cinematic horror genre.
It stars Max Schreck as Count Orlok as a vampire with an interest in both a new residence and the wife (Greta Schröder) of his estate agent (Gustav von Wangenheim).
The film, shot in 1921 and released in 1922, was an unauthorized adaptation of Stoker’s novel, with names and other details changed because the studio could not obtain rights to the novel.
Tickets are available from Steve at the Cellar Bar in Cardigan, or online at bandcamp.com event tickets.
