Experience one of cinema’s most iconic horror masterpieces the way it was meant to be seen—projected on original 16mm film.
James Whale’s Frankenstein (1931) remains a cornerstone of the genre, bringing Mary Shelley’s gothic tale to the screen with haunting style and unmatched atmosphere. The film follows Henry Frankenstein, a brilliant yet obsessive scientist determined to conquer death by assembling a human being from stolen body parts. But when his creation awakens—not as the idealized man he imagined, but as a confused, powerful, and terrifying creature—Henry’s ambition collapses into a nightmare he can no longer control.
Boris Karloff’s legendary performance as the Monster elevates the film from early horror curiosity to enduring classic, blending tragedy, terror, and unmistakable humanity.
This rare 16mm screening offers a unique chance to witness the texture, flicker, and film-grain magic that defined early horror cinema.
A perfect event for fans of vintage film, monster movies, and the roots of everything that came after.
