Nosferatu - part of Bishop's Castle arts festival. The original silent Dracula film made in 1922. Screened in an old chapel, candles up in the stained glass windows - Whitby we can do Goth as well.
The much copied and hugely influential film was directed by FW Murnau. His next film a couple of years later won the very first oscar, not to be repeated for a silent film till now with the great " The Artist".
All original copies were ordered by the Bram Stoker estate to be destroyed for copywrite reasons. Thankfully a copy remained in the USA.
Local musicians provided an improvised soundtrack together with wine and Three Tuns beer made a great start to the evening.
Senna - the movie. Flicks in the Sticks, Chapel Lawn village hall.
A very well made film / documentary about a racing genius and remarkable man. Recently winning a bafta it's not just for petrolheads. It gives a small part of Grand Prix history when racing was arguably at its most interesting.
Superbiker - Shrewsbury. The story of the dramatic British Superbike series last year. Apart from the final race the film was a poor imitation of TT 3D. But the Ulster man Michael Laverty who was riding for swan Yamaha was sitting a couple of rows in front ! Oh and the film score was by Dave Vanian, so it could have been worse.
