after nearly 2 weeks plonked in front of the motherfucking lifesucking computer i'm doing farm work again. woohoooo!!
yes, there is some pain attached, and minor injuries, but the endorphins are awesome, and the dopamines of a job done too, and when the end of the day comes i have my beer and it's not a fattening beverage but liquid gold. |

the other day i was at what was nearly a sex party (it wasn't, but almost felt like it, which was great-- edges are nice) and they had fellini's "satiricon" on a wall-- not sure it was the dj's choice but it looked great. are you looking for black & white or color? and what is your mood of choice? i am working on becoming a movie encyclopaedia (not there yet) so maybe i can make some suggestions. |

Well, it wasn't a concrete concept from the get-go but I usually showed films inspired by German Expressionism first and then a random choice for the second one. It's sort of a Goth-event, not completely though (I play a blend of Post-Punk, Goth-Rock, Art Rock, 90s Angst, Synthpop, Shoegaze and some Soul and Blues). I've discovered that 1920s German Expressionist cinema goes incredibly well with my musical choices but it's not exclusive. Anything that is horror-inspired (but not exactly what one would call horror by today's standards), features surreal imagery, a playfully macabre production design or nice chiaroscuro lighting is fair game. Could even be a more modern film, as long as it fits the bill. I just tend to gravitate towards black and white films with a fascinatingly antiquated but creative look to them. Bonus points for subtitles (Another reason, why German Expressionist films were a prefered choice of mine during the first two gigs). My former choices: First gig: 1) Das Cabinet Des Dr. Caligari 2) Castaway On The Moon Second gig: 1) The Man Who Laughs 2) The Seventh Seal Appreciate your help by the way! |

i love german expressionism-- from "m" to "metropolis". but for a straight-up goth atmosphere i think you need the fantastic angle-- murnaus "faust" maybe?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbtTMEtxty4 i don't know what you mean by subtitles as many of these were silent movies and used title cards, plus you're in austria and speak german. so you prefer german-language films? or are you showing some kind of subtitles? if you wanted to go with modern (and funny), mel brooks "young frankenstein" would provide the visuals you want but subvert all the seriousness. http://i.imgur.com/oFVcgJV.png unrelated to the horror genre i have always liked fritz lang's "spies" for its abstract imagery. oh, dr. mabuse the gambler is more of a "gangster" movie but with some visuals that prelude busby berkeley (some cabaret scenes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MulihI2Mx80 the testament of dr. mabuse is great too though it happens in a mental hospital https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu-G5_Jo-LQ -- not really great visuals all indoors dr. mabuse became a sort of recurrent character/cliche that was reused by many filmmakers, for decades. oh another contender for the straight-up goth theme: der golem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3sgCaPJtzY oh hm not black and whit but for death-afflicted puppets from prague (free associated from the golem) check out the brothers quay (they're from new jersey though ha ha ha) totally unrelated but awesome postmodern b/w japanese horror tetsuo the iron man brothers quay are mostly shorts but would have to be lined up. totally unrelated and great great visuals, KAFKA'S THE TRIAL BY ORSON WELLES. |

I was referring to both title cards and subtitles. Just some sort of way to follow the plot without the audio. I managed to find Castaway On The Moon and The Seventh Seal with English subtitles. German-language films are not a particular criteria I'm looking for, it's just that German Expressionist films are very unique in their visual style. All eras and genres are welcome. For some time I thought I should show Night And The City (Nice and gritty urban noir-style with deep shadows and a somewhat desolate atmosphere) but so far I only found a version with Greek subtitles, I was hoping for English subs. They are not necessary either but add a nice touch. Der Golem already crossed my mind, as did Faust. But I think I've already seen someone else using the latter as a backdrop at one of the countless events I've been to in the last few years. Fritz Lang is always a good idea, I must admit though that I haven't seen Spies so far. And I've been planning to watch Tetsuo for a long time now. Lon Chaney films also came to mind. I'll look into the rest of your recommendations as well. Thank you very much. |

Oh and thanks for reminding me of Frankenstein Jr. That would be a great pick for the second film of the evening.

Not exactly what you're asking for but Kenneth Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome might work really well. More art nouveau than goth, and very colourful, but definitely has the surreal weirdness you might be after. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMbKU9aU9vA |

Thanks. Absolutely. Before and in-between my feature films I have block of various visuals. They tend to be very eclectic. You'll find short films, music videos, vintage stock footage, timelapses, trailers, even cartoons and Anime among them. It will go nicely with some of my musical picks. |
