18.00 = CAFÉ OPENS // Tickets are 70 kr.// No reservation via Email.Feeling witchy this autumn? Join us for a series of special viewings of witchy movies and learn about the history of the iconic figure of the witch. Movie Witches is a three-night viewing series with talks on the cultural significance of the witch in visual media with art historian Sofie Bové, who specializes in images of the demonic female and the role of art in renaissance witch trials. Each night features an approx. 30-45 minute talk by Sofie Bové, who has explored and worked to spread knowledge of the cultural impact of the witch through lectures, courses, art and historical city walks through her company Nocturna. She works for The Hirschsprung Collection and The Nivaagaard Collection as an art historical educator. Each talk focus on a different witchy theme as we examine the historical witch, the villain witch and the power witch. Of course followed by a topical movie. You can pick your favorite topic or go for all three nights and become chummy with all our witches.
19.00 = TALK: “FOLK-HORROR AND THE WITCH”
Join us for a deepdive into the world of folk horror with this special viewing of The Witch (2015). In tonight's presentation we look at the genre of witch movies that claim to draw on historic events and use actual accounts of witchcraft and witch hunts as source material. We trace the origin of the archetypal western witch figures and track down the first use of brooms, pointy hats and black cats in early renaissance etchings and woodcuts. Let's gather for a night where historical events and the world of fiction meet and we celebrate the folkwitch.
19:50 (approx.) = “THE WITCH - A NEW-ENGLAND FOLKTALE" (2015) 92 minutes //
A fiercely committed ensemble and an exquisite sense of historical detail conspire to cast a highly atmospheric spell in this film, a strikingly achieved tale of a mid-17th-century New England family’s steady descent into religious hysteria and madness.
