nosferatu

this evening was special. bummsratte, myself and a friend of us went to see nosferatu. yes, the 1922 mute movie by f.w. murnau! the little cinema was packed with about 80 people or so. there was even live piano music. to show the movie at the correct speed, they had to install a beamer and dvdplayer, because the standard projector just plays 24fps movies, but old movies like nosferatu were shot in 18fps. playing such an old movie in a new projector results in quite a increase of speed, thats probably why old movies on tv look so funny (pal-tv has 25fps).
