The Cabinet of Doctor CaligariESB Dublin Fringe Festival 2004The SpiegeltentA Film ExperienceDir.: Robert Wiene Germany 1919, b/w, 16mm silent with English intertitles With live performance of a new soundtrack by 3epkano and The Foley ShowMacdara Smith, Caoimhe Doyle and Fionan Higgins Saturday 9th October at 7.00pm The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari A silent film directed by Robert Wiene. Made in 1919. A classic horror film, it is a brilliant example of that dark and twisted film movement known as German expressionism. Robert Wiene and a team of designers built a nightmare realm in which light, shadow and substance are abstracted in the expressionist sets. It starred Conrad Veidt, Werner Krauss and Lil Dagover. Willi Hameister was the photographer. The demented Doctor Caligari and a carnival sleepwalker bring terror to the community of a small town. Allowing for certain primitive aspects, it still has the power to thrill. The strength of the film is added to in this presentation which will be shown accompanied by a live score written by Matthew Nolan and Cameron Doyle and performed by the group 3epkano, of which they form a part. The score brilliantly fuses electronic and acoustic instruments intensifying the atmosphere already there. The film will be shown using a 16mm projector and this version has English intertitles The Foley ShowIreland’s least known biggest export industry. Foley was invented by a man whose Irish parents emigrated to America. Jack Foley worked in the silent film industry. When sound came to films he invented a way of putting incidental noise on to the soundtrack. This became known as foley. Foley has changed since the 1930s with the advent of digital recording technologies, foley is now used in advertisements, on television, in films, on radio and in computer games. The Foley Show will give an inside look at how foley is actually made every day in foley studios across the world. Macdara Smith and Caoimhe Doyle, both Irish foley artists will lead the members of the audience through the process and show them the nuts and bolts of foley. They will be joined by Fionan Higgins who will record the foley  Macdara Smith is based in Paris. He is a foley artist, singer, trumpeter and performance artist.
