Heavily truncated since it's initial release in 1982, this digitally remastered version has been cobbled together from prints generously donated through various film archives around the world, including an incomplete and heavily damaged English-language interpositive, a well worn French-dubbed print, and, for reasons that have yet to be adequately explained, the 1943 film "Sun Valley Serenade" starring Milton Berle and the apocryphal Norwegian skater Sonja Heine. Although the restoration was unable to recreate the film's original 18-hour running time or locate any of the legendary flamenco dancing footage, it has been retransferred at the proper frame rate 16 fps and has been carefully hand tinted per director F.W. Murnau's original intentions.

Following the film at 10pm, Eric Thornett's gripping erotic thriller 23 HOURS will be shown. Known in some foreign markets as "Murder Most Moist", it stars Italian heartthrob "Dave Stewart", aka Gianni Giancarlo, as a hapless pencil pusher trapped in a sexually charged game of cat and mouse. The legendary Jell-O^TM sequence is not to be missed.

Formed nearly twenty-five years ago as a student-run film festival, the Johns Hopkins Film Festival has grown into a frightening, media behemoth notorious for its questionable morality, flagrant debauchery and absolute refusal to use proper grammar or conventional punctuation.
