Faust + Live ScorePG
When the demon Mephisto wagers with an archangel that he can corrupt a good man’s soul, he sets his sights on Faust—an aging alchemist desperate to save his village from the plague. With Mephisto’s help, Faust brings relief to his people, but at a steep cost. As his pact with the devil spirals into decadence and despair, can he find redemption before it’s too late? A masterpiece of silent cinema, F.W. Murnau’s visually stunning reimagining of the classic legend is an epic tale of ambition, temptation, and fate, brought to life with breathtaking imagery.
Join us for a special one-off screening, accompanied by a live soundtrack from acclaimed composer Hugo Max.
Max Plays Murnau – UK Tour 2025
Join Hugo Max as he accompanies a daring triptych of films by F. W. Murnau this spring with live soundtracks on solo viola. Following the success of his 2024 UK Tour, Max improvises scores to Murnau’s classic Nosferatu (1922), chamber drama The Last Laugh (1924) and epic Faust (1926) at cinemas across the UK. His vivid performances breathe new life into Murnau’s expressionistic imagery.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
