Nugroho’s Setan Jawa is a silent film with live score created by celebrated Indonesian composer and singer, Peni Candra Rini with Andy McGraw. The film explores Indonesia’s pre-orthodox Islamic stories of the seven deals man makes with the devil in order to gain wealth, and the live score dramatically underpins the mysticism and sensuality of Nugroho’s tale of love and sacrifice.
Setan Jawa evokes Javanese mythology through a lens of contemporary horror, inspired by the perennial silent film classic, Murnau’s Nosferatu.
