Au revoir 2021! NYE Celebration at Philippe restaurant, Melbourne. Dining under the stars in George Parade.
In 17th Century Hungary, the infamous Blood Countess was convicted of gruesome crimes of torture and depravity with her young maids. Was she a bloodthirsty monster or the victim of a sinister political intrigue? As the net closes in on the Countess, her musicians come closer to the truth, only to find themselves trapped in a castle of absurd horrors. In the tradition of the silent era, directed by short film-maker Nathan Godkin, with a breathtaking musical score by Vardos, 'Entertaining Countess Dracula' tells a daringly bloody and comical tale of the woman behind the myth of the first female vampire.
With a spooky introduction by writer and performer Sofia Chapman, and violinist and actress Alana Hunt. Film is approximately 30 minutes, PG: Parental guidance recommended.
