OPENING NIGHT OF THE DEVIL PROBABLY: A CENTURY OF SATANIC PANIC
January 31 at 8:00 PM
Benjamin Christensen
HÄXAN
1922/68, 76 min, 35mm. Narration by William S. Burroughs.
Having previously made a series of short films (including TOWERS OPEN FIRE) with William S. Burroughs, producer, filmmaker, and film distributor Antony Balch teamed up with him once again to create a new version of Benjamin Christensens extraordinary silent film, HÄXAN. Conceived as a documentary and inspired by the medieval witch-hunting manual, Malleus Maleficarum, HÄXAN is a collage of short vignettes aiming to reframe witchcraft within a darkly comedic, pseudo-scientific analysis of female hysteria and mental illness. Re-editing the film and setting it to a score performed by a jazz group featuring violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, Balch commissioned Burroughs to provide the narration, which he delivered in his inimitable, other-worldly fashion. HÄXAN in any form is a sight to behold, and this rare screening of a 35mm print of Balch and Burroughss version is not to be missed!
PRESENTED ON FRI, JAN 31 BY LUCIEN GREAVES, WHO WILL LEAD A BLACK MASS RITUAL AND DELIVER AN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE BEFORE THE SCREENING!
