A collection of four short films by Julie O., all shot in Berlin in 2018: *DAS IST KUNST* (2 min), *Trauer Natur* (3 min), *Pustra* (2 min), and *my masterpiece* (4 min). **Total Runtime: 11 mins** ### THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (1920) A hypnotist, a somnambulist, and a string of mysterious murders collide in Robert Wiene’s landmark of German Expressionism. With its wildly distorted sets, painted shadows, and warped sense of space, *The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari* helped establish a visual language that would influence horror and cinema for decades to come. **Presented with a live score.** ### MUSICIANS #### SEAN CIMINO Sean Cimino is a Los Angeles–based artist, composer, songwriter, and producer working with guitar, granular processing, and modular synthesis.
