German Silents at FLEFF

Here in Ithaca, the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival is currently underway. Two classics of German cinema will be a part of the weekend's screenings downtown.

On Friday, April 3, at 7pm, FLEFF screens the silent horror film Nosferatu (F.W. Murnau, Germany, 1922) with live music by Richard Feria, John Stetch, and Nicholas Walker.

Then, Sunday evening at 7, festival-goers will be treated to a screening of Ernst Lubitsch's Die Bergkatze (The Wildcat) (Ernst Lubitsch, Germany, 1921), again with live musical accompaniment, this time by Robby Aceto, Peter Dodge, and Chris White.

Summaries of both films are available here.

Both events will take place at the Cinemapolis theater on the commons.
