Join the Twin Cites German Film Festival for a special presentation of “Faust”. In honor of its 100th anniversary, local musicians ten thousand lakes (xkl) create a live score for F.W. Murnau’s masterpiece.
The story is classic—a wager between an angel and a demon over the soul of an honorable man as the plague descends on all he loves. Considered a pinnacle of German Expressionist cinema, Murnau’s powerful, haunting, innovative visuals and special effects were far ahead of its time. ten thousand lakes is thrilled to be bringing this incredible German film to audiences in autumn, 2026.
Presented as part of the 5th annual Twin Cities German Film Festival, produced by the Germanic-American Institute in partnership with the Goethe-Institut.
Tickets: $17 at the door • $19 w/online fee
