WITH LIVE ACCOMPANIMENT BY LORI GOLDSTON
Most movies try to convince you that what you're seeing is real. THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI begins by painting shadows directly onto the walls and proceeds from there.
At a local carnival in a small German town, hypnotist Dr. Caligari presents the somnambulist Cesare, who can purportedly predict the future of curious fairgoers. But at night, the doctor wakes Cesare from his sleep to enact his evil bidding…
Incalculably influential, the film's nightmarishly jagged sets, sinister atmospheric and psychological emphasis left an immediate impact in its wake. More than a century later, its influence remains everywhere: horror films, film noir, comic books, music videos, and virtually every filmmaker who has ever looked at realism and decided it was overrated.
Classically trained and rigorously de-trained, possessor of a restless, semi-feral spirit, LORI GOLDSTON is a cellist, composer, improvisor, producer, writer and teacher from Seattle. Her voice as a cellist, amplified or acoustic, is full, textured, committed and original. A relentless inquirer, her work drifts freely across borders that separate genre, discipline, time and geography.
