A disturbing Danish film, reanacting witchcraft trials from the 15th and 16th on till the early 20th Century. Mixing scenes of reanactment, animation and illustrated slideshows to depict events of alleged real-life events and possessions, we are shown images of extreme cruelty which smack of the experimental edges of medical research. This must have been tantamount to the work of the devil when it first came out. Sick-minds they had back in 1922! The DVD has a choice of soundtracks, the best of find out more...

Filmed entirely without dialogue, but rich in sound and imagery, Hukkle is a dreamily original and darkly witty depiction of not so ordinary, ordinary life.

As the pair attempt to get a grip on the city's history, contemporary events distract them from their planned route and their focus on the past.

This tape includes two versions of the film, the first with music from the Alloy Orchestra and the second with a commentary by leading cinema historian Yuri Tsivan. A radic find out more...
