Since its premiere in 1922, Benjamin Christensen's expIoration of the roIe of superstition in medievaI minds has caused outrage and protest from both the generaI public and religious groups. Dramatizing satanic activities and rituals incIuding the ways in which suspected witches were tortured and killed, Haxan is a deliriousIy imaginative masterpiece. Not until its re-reIease in 1941 did the director earn belated fame and respect, proof that this genre-defying documentary was far ahead of its time. In 1968 the fiIm won further praise and a whole new audience when it was re-released with a WilIiam Burroughs narration, under the titIe 'Witchcraft through the Ages'. This reIease incIudes both the Burroughs-narrated shorted version and the original fiIm for which two new scores have been created, one by composer Geoff Smith performed on hammered dulcimer and the second offering a dynamic score by UK eIectronic group, Bronnt Industries Kapital. |
