Jean Epstein’s mesmerising adaptation of the classic gothic horror story by Edgar Allen Poe features a new live DJ score blending post-punk, trip-hop, jungle and industrial techno with classical undertones, by Emelyne.
The Fall of the House of Usher is a French silent horror film, directed by Jean Epstein and based on the 1839 Gothic short story by Edgar Allen Poe. Melbourne-based DJ Emelyne reimagines this silent-era masterpiece by weaving together a dark, immersive soundscape, blending post-punk, trip-hop, jungle, industrial techno, contemporary club textures and classical undertones. Her modern score transforms Poe’s macabre vision into a hypnotic journey through shadow and sound.
The deckchairs will be out for this very special, free Big Screen and live performance experience – or feel free to bring a picnic rug and someone to hug.
Presented by Fed Square with support from Insite Arts, as part of Open Air at the Square.
