Grave robbing, torture, possessed nuns, and a satanic Sabbath. Benjamin Christensen’s film Häxan (Witchcraft Through the Ages) is a sensuous and darkly humorous exploration of the witches of the Middle Ages. Presented in partnership between the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions, Queensland Film Festival and the Institute of Modern Art, this free screening is essential viewing for those with an interest in the superstitious practices of yore.

Don’t miss your chance to see this legendary film accompanied by a spine tingling experimental live score performed by Lucy Cliché and Naomi Blacklock. The screening will be introduced by Dr Charlotte-Rose Millar, who has written extensively on witchcraft, diabolism, emotions and sexual practices in early modern England.
