\nIn association with the Chichester International Film Festival 2018, Ben Hall returns playing the live organ accompaniment to the Danish filmmaker Carl Dreyer’s 1930 classic silent, creepy chiller.

Described by the great Alfred Hitchcock as “the only film worth watching… twice<\/em>“, Vampyr<\/strong>‘s influence on subsequent cinema has become incalculable. Released and seen in the UK for the first time in a restored version here in the Chichester International Film Festival 2018
