Are you as obsessed with the new version of Nosferatu as we are? 🧛
The Library has a number of texts all about the original iconic film, including the DVD, all available on Floor 5 of the City Campus.
ALT Photo of 2 books and a DVD on a table. They are titled "Murnau" by Lotte H Eisner, "German Expressionist Cinema" by Ian Rover, and the DVD is "Nosferatu" by FW Murnau.

Almost 5 years since I started on Unsuitable Films and Video Audiences project and am finally writing some conclusions for the book. Lots of redrafting and tidying to do but this is a huge moment. I've loved every minute of working with the memories of everyone who responded.

It was a real privilege to speak about my book tonight at the @BFI library. I even got to meet Richard Bell who was unexpectedly in the audience! Richard was a background artist on Watership Down and you can see his recollections about the film here:
