A spellbinding live cinema experience is coming to west Dorset.

Gothic horror Nosferatu can be seen in Burton Bradstock on Sunday, March 27.

Bristol based quartet Minima will perform live in Burton Bradstock Village Hall, creating an original, live score to one of the silent era’s masterpieces, Nosferatu from 1922. The eerie, Gothic feel, combined with a chilling performance from Max Shrek as the vampire has set the template for many horror films that followed. Darkly humorous and tender too, this is a story of yearning and the search for fulfilment.

Minima specialise in creating live accompaniment to screenings of silent films, performing on a variety of instruments including cello, double bass, baritone guitar, acoustic and electric guitars and mandolin.

With an array of acclaimed performances at venues including the Barbican Centre, BFI Southbank, Glastonbury Festival and the Transylvania International Film Festival, Minima have also recorded original music for short films by contemporary filmmakers.

Minima come to Burton Bradstock through Dorset’s touring arts charity Artsreach.

The group specialises in creating live accompaniment to screenings of silent films, performing on a variety of instruments including cello, double bass, baritone guitar, acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, autoharp, dulcimer, synthesizer, glockenspiel and drum kit to create a unique live experience.

Nosferatu can be seen at Burton Bradstock Village Hall on Sunday, March 27 at 7.30pm. Further information and tickets are available from 01308 897421 or online at artsreach.co.uk
