The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (original: Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari) is a 1920 German silent film directed by Robert Wiene. It is considered one of the first masterpieces of horror cinema and a key work of German cinematic expressionism, which had a huge impact on the development of cinematography.

The plot of the film depicts a story told by Francis, one of the main characters. The mysterious Dr. Caligari appears in the small German town of Holstenwall and presents his somnambulist, Cesare, at a fair. The somnambulist predicts the death of Alan, Francis' friend, which indeed occurs before dawn. Suspicions fall on Dr. Caligari and his protégé, but another man is apprehended in the act, complicating the investigation.

Francis decides to follow Dr. Caligari on his own, discovering that Caligari is in fact the director of a local psychiatric hospital. Over time, it comes to light that the doctor is conducting experiments inspired by an 18th-century scientist who forced sleepwalkers to commit murders. Ultimately, Francis' story turns out to be the narrative of a mentally ill person, and all the characters, including Caligari, turn out to be patients of the hospital.

The film, with its distinctive expressionistic visual style, depicts a distorted, horror-filled world that still inspires filmmakers today.
"Czerwie" is a Polish band that presents alternative sounds from the borderline of folk, ethno, absurd scene, experimental and contemporary music, as well as theater and film music. They have created their own unique style characterized by unconventional use of instruments and musical values, while being a fusion of many genres. They are the creators, among others, of the music for the play directed by Piotr Cieplak "Albośmy to jacy, tacy" based on "Wesele" by St. Wyspiański (Zygmunt Hübner Powszechny Theater, Warsaw, 2007). The play, which has been staged 50 times in the capital, has been broadcast many times on TVP Kultura. The musicians have 6 original albums in their discography.
