Cellist Lori Goldston performs an original live score for Carl Dreyer's 1932 uncanny masterpiece, presented on 16mm film.
One of cinema’s most poetic nightmares, VAMPYR is a waking dream of hauntingly beautiful and unsettling imagery. A drifter arrives at a small village inn, discovering a family beset by mysterious forces, living shadows, and a malevolent old woman. Reality and nightmare blur as vampiric dread stalks the village, the family, and the drifter himself.
A critical and box office failure that derailed Dreyer’s career for a decade, today it is hailed as a unique and influential treasure, beloved by directors like Del Toro, Tarkovsky, and Polansky.
Classically trained and rigorously de-trained, semi-feral spirit Lori Goldston is a cellist, composer, improvisor, producer, writer, and teacher. Her voice as a cellist is full, textured, committed, and original. A relentless inquirer, her work drifts freely across borders that separate genre, discipline, time, and geography.
