Kent MOMI is pleased to announce its new season of Friday evening screenings with a six-week programme exploring Production Design, ahead of our next major exhibition, the films included as voted for by our visitors and ourselves.

On Friday 15th March we present Faust (F.W. Murnau, 1926, 1 hr. 46 mins), "one of the most astonishing visual experiences the silent cinema has to offer" (NY Times). 

F. W. Murnau was one of the boldest and most imaginative artists working during the silent period of German Expressionism. Along with his horror classic Nosferatu, his creation of Faust is considered one of the greatest of all supernatural fantasies. In Faust, Murnau offered a new kind of visual aesthetic, in which the atmospheric play of light and shadow is uniquely combined with the expressive and dramatic use of smoke, fog, mists and clouds. These manifestations of the normally invisible element of the air are dramatically associated in Murnau’s film with supernatural presence, pestilence, terror, moral drama, and human tragedy.

Introduced by Dr. Natasha, with a short discussion afterwards.
