THINGS FROM OTHER WORLDS: ADAPTING, TRANSFORMING AND TRANSLATING THE THING with instructor Laura Mee

To round off the season of screenings and discussion on all things witchcraft, The Final Girls will be presenting a curated programme of short films that explore the cult of the witch, a unique figure of pop culture that has had depictions in the folklore and pop culture around the world.

In association with the Abertoir Film Festival, Miskatonic is proud to present an evening in conversation with renowned genre director Gary Sherman, bringing him back to where it all began – Russell Square.

Publisher/film maker Stuart Swezey and author/film programmer Jack Sargeant will talk books, underground publishing, underground culture, and much more, while screening excerpts of appropriately transgressive films and videos.

Join us for a surprise screening of a witch film. Could be a cult classic, could be a recent release, or a preview of a soon-to-be-released film

Final Girls present a deep dive into the myriad of forms the witch has taken in film and television, from romantic heroines, goth teens and the witchploitation of the seventies, as well as some of questions that arise around representation, sexuality and empowerment.

Nigredo Nights presents Witches’ Sabbath, a selection of films and discussions that will explore Witchcraft, Magical Traditions and Folklore on screen.
