In celebration of the film’s 100th anniversary, Brooklyn Horror Film Festival and The Flushing Remonstrance present F.W. Murnau’s Faust with live accompaniment.Murnau’s colossal adaptation of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's tragic play ranks alongside Fritz Lang's Metropolis as the greatest achievement of the German silent cinema. Gösta Ekman stars as the titular alchemist who, struggling with his faith amid a devastating plague, is offered the power to cure and the gift of youth...in exchange for his soul. As the diabolical Mephisto, Emil Jannings (The Last Laugh) delivers a performance of operatic scale and intensity, by turns charming, comical, and horrific.
“A great fresco painted with lights and shadows… Never before or since was there such an exultant flight of the cinema spirit.” - Herman G. Weinberg, Cinemages
The Flushing Remonstrance, NYC’s premier group devoted to live film accompaniment, bring Faust to life with their all-new live score.
ONE NIGHT ONLY. Wednesday, March 25, 2026, 9:30 pm at Nitehawk Cinema Williamsburg, 136 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn. Tickets are on sale now (see link below or the theater website).
