SIFF Movie Middle will display a witches’ brew of demonology and medieval superstition within the type of Benjamin Christensen’s 1922 silent movie. Häxan (“the witch” in Swedish) explores the notion that accused medieval sorceresses might have been combating psychological issues. Christensen theorized that compulsions like sleepwalking, pyromania, and kleptomania may’ve been in charge for the habits of ladies who have been labeled as witches. Does it veer barely into “FeMaLeS are cRaZy” territory? I do not know, perhaps. Christensen additionally argues that medieval “witches” have been usually poor, older girls with out sufficient social help, and that torture performed a central position in confessions. All of that appears doubtless. General, we’re higher off with Christensen’s offbeat, horror-tinged, early-feminist studying of misogyny on this planet. This extra-informative screening, introduced in partnership with the Nationwide Nordic Museum, will characteristic a “vigorous dialog” between SIFF programmer Dan Doody and College of Washington professor Amanda Doxtater.
