Join Hugo Max as he accompanies the greatest horror films of the silent era with live soundtracks on solo viola this Halloween. There’s no better time of the year to experience these chilling works on the big screen, reimagined for contemporary audiences with Max’s visceral performances. Hugo Max is a British-Austrian musician, filmmaker and painter who performs live improvised scores to silent films on solo viola. He regularly soundtracks screenings across the UK. In 2024 he presented his first nationwide tour accompanying a selection of classic silent horrors and thrillers and performed his second tour in spring 2025 focussing on the films of F. W. Murnau. The Golem (1920) takes place in the 16th century Prague, where Rabbi Loew (Albert Steinruck) interprets an alignment of stars as a sign that disaster is about to befall the city's Jews. The following day, Emperor Luhois (Otto Gebühr) bans Loew's people from Prague, prompting the rabbi to build a statue, known as the Golem (Paul Wegener), that he hopes to animate as a savior. Brought to life by an evil spirit, Astaroth, the creature is, at first, gentle and compassionate. That, however, quickly changes as the creature goes insane.Folk Horror/FantasyPT1H16MPG2025-10-29
