The Dodge Brothers and Neil Brand perform the Scottish premiere of their new live musical accompaniment for F.W. Murnau's lyrical and ravishingly beautiful drama.

Tall, dark, handsome star Charles Farrell plays Lem, a farmer's son who travels to the Big City, where he falls in love with a disenchanted waitress. Lem brings his new gal home to meet the folks, but his dominating dad (David Torrence) and the pack of leering farmhands put the young couple's love to the test. With a line-up featuring Mike Hammond (lead guitar, banjo), broadcaster and film critic Mark Kermode (bass, harmonica), Aly Hirji (rhythm guitar, mandolin), Alex Hammond (percussion) and Neil Brand (piano) this is sure to be a highlight of HippFest's 12th edition.
