About the event
Join us for a special showing of the 1920 classic silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, featuring live organ accompaniment by Alec Watson.
When a small community is visited by an eccentric doctor bearing a strange cabinet, the town is plunged into a labyrinthine mystery. A sleepwalker stalks sepia-toned beauties. Two friends rendezvous on a lamp-lit street. Shadows grow in the night.
Alec Watson is a Minneapolis based songwriter, composer, and improviser. He’ll be playing an original score on the Ottawa Center for the Arts Abbey pipe organ. You’ll be lulled, you be’ll spooked, and you’ll be entertained!
