David DiDonato LIVE: Nosferatu
Thriller, Fantasy
David is making his third trip to Gainesville to perform one of his live scores! He played Metropolis, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and this time NOSFERATU!
David DiDonato is an American guitarist/composer/multi-instrumentalist/producer, best known for performing the World’s Longest Guitar Solo on May 13-14, 2012 and for being in a wide array of bands; including the Ultimate Dragons, J-Church, Funeralizer, Modok, Ipecac, H.R.M., DFI, and Ratking.
During his semi-retirement, DiDonato created a primitive soundtrack to F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent film Nosferatu (in 2006, remastered 2019), fusing classical guitar passages with instrumental black metal, followed by a soundtrack to Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (in 2014). Over the course of the quarantine, he has performed at various drive-in theaters and spent the first 14 months of the lockdown scoring The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. This was debuted in Detroit in late August of 2021.

Linoleum
Comedy, Drama, Sci-Fi
Cameron Edwin (Jim Gaffigan), the host of a failing children’s science TV show called “Above & Beyond”, has always had aspirations of being an astronaut. After a mysterious space-race era satellite coincidentally falls from space and lands in his backyard, his midlife crisis manifests in a plan to rebuild the machine into his dream rocket. As his relationship with his wife (Rhea Seehorn) and daughter (Katelyn Nacon) start to strain, surreal events begin unfolding around him — a doppelgänger moving into the house next door, a car falling from the sky, and an unusual teenage boy forging a friendship with him. He slowly starts to piece these events together to ultimately reveal that there’s more to his life story than he once thought. (101 minutes)
