Häxan (The Witch) uses vignettes, wood carvings, illustrations and more to chart the historical roots and superstitions surrounding witchcraft, beginning in the Middle Ages through the 1900s. Considered to be one of the most important silent films ever made, Häxan trailblazed a myriad of formal and genre techniques, setting the stage for horror and documentary films to follow. This retrospective explores the film's themes, technicals, and thesis.
Thank you for watching.
