Co-presented by TOPS, the Goethe-Institut Toronto & Wavelength
This year's edition of the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show, our long-time film partner's curated film programs across Toronto parks each summer, had to be postponed to August 1st to Labour Day. While we are waiting for our parks to reopen, let's look back at sitting in Queensway Park together four summers ago when we presented Murnau's classic vampire film "Nosferatu" with a specially commissioned live score by Toronto indie band Del Bel. Relive that magical night safely at home with our
online stream and instagram your photo of watching it on your laptop on your porch or projected onto your garden shed or wherever you are, following & tagging

More context on silent film music can be found in our Sound of Filmmusik series, where Program Curator Jutta Brendemühl takes a look at the works of British composer Neil Brand, who you last heard in our Goethe Films March series in “Spies”. Jutta will also speak to composer Deb Sinha about creating sound for silents, as this wasn't the first time the Goethe-Institut presented "Nosferatu" – Toronto's Ima Ensemble improvised a live score for the film at our old in-house cinema.
"Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror" (Germany, 1922), silent German Expressionist horror film directed by F. W. Murnau starring Max Schreck as vampire Count Orlok.
Part of the Goethe-Institut focus on German film.
