DESCRIPTION:Sunday, October 18\n7:30 PM\nThe Guild Theater\n2828 35th St (corner of 
 35th & Broadway), Sacramento\nAdmission: $5.00\n\nHaxan (1922)\n\nThis 
 essentially documentary film from Denmark has been censored and banned in 
 various countries throughout the years.  Ostensibly an overview of 
 witchcraft and satanism, it is ultimately more a condemnation of the church 
 and  in many ways advocates for basic human rights.\n\nConsisting of 
 several parts, the film begins with a series of woodcuts and engravings to 
 explain the medieval scientific view of the world and Hell.  The film then 
 shifts to a series of vignettes illustrating various visions of evil, 
 satanism and witchcraft, although dramatic recreations of various acts.  
 This then transitions to a section recreating a vicious interrogation of a 
 witch, and finally culminates in an admittedly somewhat weak and outdated 
 psychological analysis based on the science of the early 1920s (primarily, 
 Freud).\n\nMuch of the imagery throughout is fascinating, chilling and 
 controversial - it was at the time of its initial release, and for some 
 viewers, still is today - weirdness abounds in the vignette section: 
 demons, satan, nudity, possessed nuns and even demonic urine tossing!\n
