Join us for a memorable evening of cinematic history under the stars at the Historic Old City Cemetery. This year’s Movie in the Cemetery features "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (1920), a masterpiece of German Expressionism. Often regarded as one of the first popular feature-length horror films, this film is celebrated for its surreal set designs, striking shadows, and unsettling skewed perspectives that continue to inspire filmmakers to this day.
The program also includes Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí's 1929 short film, "Un Chien Andalou", a Dadaist piece infamous for its dreamlike imagery and boundary-pushing creativity. Together, these films promise an extraordinary experience for film buffs, horror enthusiasts, and cinephiles alike.
