Vampyr, with live music accompaniment by Steven Severin Steven Severin returns to give UK audiences a rare opportunity to hear his new score for VAMPYR , the third in Severin's ongoing film accompaniment series - Music For Silents. Live in person, acclaimed solo artist and founder member of the legendary Siouxsie and the Banshees , Severin presents a mesmerising synthesis of sound and image, heightening appreciation of the surreal and enigmatic nature of the original work. Carl Theodor Dreyer's unsettling tale of fear and obsession finds its aural counterpart in Severin's suitably textured score, a synthesised, highly atmospheric soundscape drawing the viewer rhythmically into the oneiric imagery on screen. Loosely based on Sheridan Le Fanu's genre-defining, 1872 vampire tale, Carmilla (which preceded Bram Stoker's Dracula by 25 years), VAMPYR follows the fortunes of Allan Gray, a young student of the occult, who takes rooms at a village inn, little realising that the region is cursed by vampires. In the dead of night, Gray receives a mysterious nocturnal visitor, who leaves behind a package labelled 'To be opened after my death' – and from that moment on, events take ever darker, weirder turns. Tickets £10.00; Movie Deal £24.95 (before discount) |

2011 / 2012 Membership |
Film Club at the Roxy operates as a club within the commercial Roxy cinema. We are non-profit making and volunteer-run. Income is from membership fees, not ticket sales. Though non-members are welcome at our films we rely on a good membership base for our survival. The Film Club started in 1989 and has been bringing the best of world cinema to South Lakeland for over 20 years. We want this to continue and ask for your support. You can join (or rejoin) by replying to our mailing, or at the Roxy cinema (preferably before a Film Club screening). Forms are available on this website. We are fortunate in enjoying the facilities of Roxy cinema. The ambience of this art deco cinema far exceeds modern characterless multiplexes. Also the impact & enjoyment of a good film is far greater on the big screen than on TV. So please come & join us. 21 Aug 2011 |
