Waxworks
Our friends at Flicker Alley have made this Expressionist classic available for SFSFF members to screen just in time for Halloween! Paul Leni’s 1924 Das Wachsfigurenkabinet (Waxworks) is a triptych of stories linked together by young poet William Dieterle, whose job it is to create grisly histories for wax museum figures including the Caliph of Baghdad (enacted by Emil Jannings), Ivan the Terrible (Conrad Veidt), and Jack the Ripper (Werner Krauss). With music by Bernd Schultheis, Olav Lervik, and Jan Kohl.
SFSFF members can screen Waxworks from 8am, Friday, October 29 until midnight on Sunday, November 7.
Not a member? We can fix that — just sign up using the link above!
