This event will feature a screening of Anna Biller’s The Love Witch (2016) followed by a discussion with the director and Witch Institute organizers, de Szegheo Lang and Vena. A feminist satire of 1960s Technicolor horror, The Love Witch follows a modern-day witch as she uses spells and magic to manipulate a man’s romantic feelings. The post-screening conversation will focus on Biller’s homage to 1960s witch cinema, as well as her treatment of female subjectivity and feminist politics. Together, the three participants will explore historical treatments of the witch on screen and consider how these images continue to work intertextually in today’s media.
This screening is only accessible within Canada but all are welcome to the post-screening Q&A. If you are located outside of Canada but wish to access the Q and A, please email witch.institute@queensu.ca with subject line ANNA BILLER Q&A, and will send you the Zoom link.
