This special program of films was personally selected by Guy Maddin for all-new scores composed and performed by The Flushing Remonstrance, NYC’s premier group devoted to live film accompaniment.
Maddin’s 2003 gothic silent film/ballet Dracula: Pages From A Virgin’s Diary is “arguably the finest adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel ever filmed … A gorgeously expressionistic fantasia that will appeal even to viewers with zero interest in ballet.” (Mike D’Angelo, AV Club).
Dracula is presented here along with three rare Maddin shorts – Odin’s Shield Maiden, Only Dream Things and Saint, Devil, Woman [Séance] – all with live accompaniment.
“What an unearthly experience, these new scores! The flow! The darkness! The beauty! A dreamy-dream-dream! SUBLIME!” – Guy Maddin
