Witches! Our guest: Morgana, at the Imagine Film Festival, Amsterdam.

Filmfestival Imagine is al 30 jaar hét festival in Nederland dat zich richt op de fantastische film; horror, sci-fi, fantasy en al het andere dat zich buiten de grenzen van de dagelijkse realiteit bevindt. Naast het vertonen van films worden ook uitgebreide randprogramma’s aangeboden: inleidingen bij films die extra verdieping of een andere invalshoek bieden, workshops rond specifieke thema’s en (interactieve) kunst in het festivalgebouw (Eye Amsterdam).

Dit jaar werden meerdere films vertoond over het onderwerp heksen/hekserij. Dit onderwerp kreeg ook buiten de films aandacht, én een link naar moderne hekserij met een ‘magische gast’. Zie http://imaginefilmfestival.nl/what-is-happening/nieuwe-titels-en-een-magische-gast en het verslag hieronder van die gast, onze hoofdredacteur Morgana:

On April 17, 2018 I was invited to give a talk during the break at the Imagine Film Festival, Amsterdam

Jedidjah Julia Noomen asked me about being a witch and about ‘witches today’. We also discussed the archetype ‘witch’ in the two films shown that evening.

The first film was “The Changeover” – based on the Carnegie Medal winning novel by Margeret Mahy (published in 1984) Directors: Miranda Harcourt, Stuart McKenzie

The second film was “Hagazussa – a Heathen’s Curse” directed and produced byLukas Feigelfeld

Many thanks to Tink who filmed a good part of the interview.
