The NDSU Art Cinema Series, a collaboration with the NDSU Department of Visual Arts and Fargo Theatre, will begin Monday, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m. with the showing of "Nosferatu" (1979 version). Tickets cost $5.
In the film, Jonathan Harker is sent away to Count Dracula's castle to sell him a house in Varna, where he lives. But Count Dracula is a vampire, an undead ghoul living off men's blood. Inspired by a photograph of Lucy Harker, Jonathan's wife, Dracula moves to Varna, bringing with him death and plague. In this version of Dracula, the vampire bears the burden of not being able to get old and die. The film is not rated.
