Program Description

Event Details

"Directed by the Danish director Benjamin Christensen, Häxan is a quasi-documentary that, over the course of four separate sections, documents the history of witchcraft and superstition in Europe.  Along with making a potent case that religion and superstition are largely the same thing, Häxan is best known for dramatizing various old folk tales.  Though the film was made in 1922, its images of lustful devils and dark magic remain powerful to this day." - Lisa Marie Bowman of Through the Shattered Lens
