Visions of Madness and Myth 

Two sessions:

Note: One ticket purchase of $40.00 (before tax) covers BOTH sessions. You only need one ticket per attendee.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) is an uncanny psychological drama famed for jagged, implausible Expressionist sets. The Nibelungen: Siegfried (1924), Fritz Lang’s adaptation from the Nibelungenlied, looks like illuminated manuscripts come to life. On an epic scale, it moves from first guilt to final destiny. We will analyze and discuss both films with clips. It’s not required but recommended: Please watch the films beforehand on YouTube.
