Saturday, 3 June, from 21.45, the viewers will watch
Roar on the big screen, the firsand last film directed by Noel Marshall, executive producer
of the horror The
Exorcist (1973). The production of „the most dangerous movie ever made” lasted for no less than 11 years, and the project almost killed the director and his entire family. It is said that none of the over 150 animals had suffered during the entire process, but over 70 of the crew members and actors did. The film images capture real attacks that caused injuries for which many surgeries were needed.
One of this Edition's unmissable events will be the cine-concert
Metropolis, the masterpiece by Fritz Lang made in 1927, accompanied lived by the orchestra of the Transilvania State Philharmonic of Cluj-Napoca, on the original music composed by de Gottfried Huppertz, under the baton of the German conductor Stefan Geiger. On Sunday, 4 June, from 21:45, in the fantastic decor of the Banffy Castle, the futurist dystopia created by the expressionist director Fritz Lang will render new valences through the grand interpretation of the Cluj-based Orchestra.
