Faust
**Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival Screening — Sat. April 11, 8:30 PM — Presented with live musical accompaniment from Cloud Chamber Orchestra and featuring a pre-screening introduction by Michael Richardson!** Mobilizing the full resources of the Ufa Studios, F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu, Sunrise) orchestrated a colossal adaptation of Goethe's FAUST that ranks alongside Fritz Lang's Metropolis as the greatest achievement of the German silent cinema. Gösta Ekman stars as the titular alchemist who, struggling with his faith amidst a devastating plague, is offered the power to cure and the gift of youth...in exchange for his soul. As the diabolical Mephisto, Emil Jannings (The Last Laugh) delivers a performance of operatic scale and intensity, by turns charming, comical, and horrific.PT1H46M2026-04-11Gösta Ekman
