Nosferatu
Dir.: FW Murnau, b/w, 95 min., Germany 1922
A masterpiece of early horror cinema, recently restored, Nosferatu still has the power to send chills down the spine of cinemagoers 96 years after its creation.
Now renowned Cork composers Irene and Linda Buckley present the film with a new score, never before performed in Ireland, utilising the majestic organ at Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral, accompanied by viola, cello and electronics. The eerie modern classical score – comprising beautiful recurrent themes together with moments of chilling dark ambience and intense, ominous drone – is so complementary to Murnau’s foreboding imagery that you would think they had always been together.

Jibril
Dir.: Henrika Kull,colour, 83 min, Germany 2018
Maryam (Susanna Abdulmajid) is an outgoing, indomitable Arab woman living in Germany, a single mother-of-three whose family and job mean she hasn’t found much time for dating. Delivering a package to a prison for a friend, she recognises inmate Jibril (Malik Adan), who she previously met at a wedding. There’s an easy attraction between the two and, over the course of a year, an intense, desirous relationship develops. This superbly acted, daring first fiction feature from Henrika Kull touches on issues of race and class, though at its heart is a captivating love story for the times.
Official Selection, Berlin International Film Festival, 2018
