Nosferatu (1922) with Live ScoreNosferatu (1922) with Live Score

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (Nosferatu: Eine Symphonie des Grauens) — presented with alternative field recordings and minimal score from Vincent O' Callaghan.

With Abigail, Salem’s Lot, The Hadleys and Interview with a Vampire all on screen this year — and Universal Pictures’ Nosferatu adaptation arriving in 2025 — this has truly been the season of resurrection for the blood sucking vampire.

F.W. Murnau’s 1922 classic silent black-and-white, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, created the iconography of vampiric cinema, which is just as relevant today, retaining the ability to frighten and amaze.

The first ever screen adaptation of the legendary Bram Stoker’s Dracula follows the tale of a young businessman (Gustav von Wangenheim) who journeys straight to the heart of darkness in deepest Transylvania. There he comes into contact with Count Orlok (Max Schreck) who soon after embarks upon a cross-continental voyage to take up residence in a distant new land… and establish his ambiguous dominion.

For this special event at Foyle Film Festival, music artist Vincent O’ Callaghan will weave together field recordings and a sparse minimal score to reimagine and explore the strange world created within Murnau’s Nosferatu, where characters drift between dreams and awakening, between the living and the undead, between day and night — and ominous shadows flicker before they are banished by the coming dawn.

Vincent O’Callaghan has released two albums — The Mocking Reflection & Day of The Molotov on the Greek label "Kinetik Records".
