Faust is one of the great classic works of German silent cinema from director F.W. Murnau, best known for his 1927 masterpiece Sunrise. Murnau's Faust features astonishing photography and magnificent art direction which retain the power to amaze.

“Based on a German folk legend, Faust is the story of a man who sold his soul to the devil in an attempt to gain control of the Earth; Mephisto wagers an angel that he can corrupt the soul of the elderly professor Faust. As the Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride demonically through the sky, Mephisto towers over Faust's hometown unleashing a plague that spreads amongst its inhabitants.” - Gary Toze

blunderspublik (Curtis Walker) is a sound and video artist. He approaches his audio and visual work in similar ways – by beginning with synthetic and organic sources that are translated to binary code, sculpted, and organized into complex structures and abstract narratives. In addition to writing audio pieces for distraction, blunderspublik has also collaborated on works to accompany independent theatre projects and short film/video, the WSO’s New Music Festival and he has recently produced two short films.
