About this Event

Elizabeth Sankey is a London-based filmmaker, musician, and writer. Her debut documentary Romantic Comedy (2019) was selected for over 30 festivals including SXSW and IFFR, and distributed by MUBI. Her latest feature, Witches (2024), premiered at Tribeca and won Best Documentary at the BIFAs.

Filtered through Sankey's own experience with post-partum anxiety, depression, and psychosis, Witches attempts to connect women's mental health conditions with accusations of witchcraft throughout history. It includes interviews with Sankey's friends who have had similar experiences, alongside clips from films featuring witches and mentally ill women.

Elizabeth Sankey 是來自倫敦的電影人、音樂人及作家。其首部紀錄片《Romantic Comedy》（2019）曾入選 SXSW 及鹿特丹等逾 30 個國際影展；其最新紀錄長片《Witches》（2024）先後入選翠貝卡及倫敦電影節，更勇奪英國獨立電影獎（BIFA）最佳紀錄片殊榮。片中，Sankey 以自身經歷過的產後焦慮、抑鬱及思覺失調為切入點，試圖連結女性精神健康狀況與歷史上的女巫指控。除了訪問曾有類似經歷的友人，影片亦穿插了描繪女巫及受精神困擾女性的經典電影片段，藉此進行對照。
