Penistone Film Festival 2026: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari with live musical accompaniment by Andy Quin

One of the most influential films in cinema history, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a landmark of German Expressionism.

The mysterious Dr. Caligari exhibits a somnambulist named Cesare at a travelling fair, a sleepwalker said to predict the future. When a series of murders terrorises a small German town, suspicions arise that Cesare may be acting under his master�s sinister influence.
