Witchcraft Double Bill: South West Silents

"Hast thou consorted with the witch?!"

South West Silents and Maria Pérez Cuervo from Hellebore join forces again to showcase two more classics of folklore and witchcraft.

This special Witchcraft Double Bill will include a screening of Benjamin Christensen's controversial silent film Häxan (1922) with live musical accompaniment by Stephen Horne. The film will be introduced by Professor Ronald Hutton, the leading authority on the history of paganism and witchcraft.

Then Maria J Pérez Cuervo, founder and editor of Hellebore, will introduce a rare screening of John Moxey's The City of the Dead (1960) starring Christopher Lee.

The event will also have a number of stalls open on the day including Espensen Spirit selling their specially themed cocktails and a Hellebore merchandise stall.
