FILM: HÄXAN

Sweden 1922 | 107 minutes | Silent film with live music | D: Benjamin Christensen

Benjamin Christensen's silent film "Häxan" (1922) was very ahead of its time and is a remarkable work in film history. A world history of mysticism and especially witchcraft is portrayed in seven chapters which struggle to differentiate between clarification, speculation and exploitation of the subject.

LIVE MUSIC:

BORIS HAUF - keyboards, electronics
ALEX JEZDINSKY - drums

Alex and Boris play in the legendary Austrian rock band Naked Lunch. "Häxan" was Williams Burrough's favourite movie. They will be using his original narration throughout the screening.
