Wurlitza’s ‘Sunrise’

Live music by Wurlitza & F.W. Murnau's fast-paced, silent film of temptation & reconciliation

Wurlitza Presents ‘Sunrise’, The Zone, Downderry, 7.30pm, Sat 18th Jan 2025

F.W. Murnau’s Sunrise is silent film at its most poetic. Made with an unlimited budget. Murnau’s fast-paced tale of temptation and reconciliation beautifully captures both rural idyll and bustling city with an array of clever cinematic touches. On its release Sunrise was lauded as “a film masterpiece” by the New York Times, winning three Academy Awards. Sunrise is still considered one of the finest films to date.
Wurlitza have added music that will be both familiar and unfamiliar, from Bach and Villa Lobas to Talking Heads, Echo and the Bunnymen, Madness and the Vapors, as well as some of their own. This is a truly unique and memorable experience, and great for all ages.
