In this highly influential silent horror film, the mysterious Count Orlok (Max Schreck) summons Thomas Hutter (Gustav von Wangenheim) to his remote Transylvanian castle in the mountains. The eerie Orlok seeks to buy a house near Hutter and his wife, Ellen (Greta Schroeder). After Orlok reveals his vampire nature, Hutter struggles to escape the castle, knowing that Ellen is in grave danger. Meanwhile Orlok's servant, Knock (Alexander Granach), prepares for his master to arrive at his new home.
About Jozef van Wissem:
Jozef van Wissem is an established surreal lutenist. The landscapes he creates with his custom-made all black baroque lute can be described as sonic oddities. The Warsaw based avant-garde artist is a critically acclaimed composer for film. Notably, he won the Cannes Soundtrack Award for Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive in 2013. His live sets are known to be haunting and experimental, combining the traditions and rituals of the olde ways with contemporary yet spellbinding noise.
