Motion picture film is imbued with a hallowed energy that is magnified by the change of seasons and our turn towards dormancy, death and all things supernatural. For, just beneath the surface and between the frames there lurk the shadows of spectral beings, conjured alchemically and activated by light, that momentarily come to life as they flicker upon the screen. This special Halloween cine-séance brings together a program of haunting films by artists who aren't afraid to look into the darkness to see what hides within.Screening: "Secure the Shadow...'Ere the Substance Fade" (1997, 16mm film) by Kerry Laitala, "The Magician's House" (2007, 16mm film) by Deborah Stratman, "Evil of Dracula" (1997, 16mm film) by Martha Colburn, "Tuning the Sleeping Machine" (1996, 16mm film) by David Sherman, "Of This Beguiling Membrane" (2020, 16mm film shown on DV) by Charlotte Pryce, "She Sank On Shallow Bank" (2005, 16mm film shown on DV)by Clifton Childree, and an amended/abridged rendition of the classic 1922 witchcraft film Häxan with live sound accompaniment by Edan Mor
