Häxan (1922) - The Love Potion

The Love Potion (2018) - 9'29”
By Beto Machado
Audio-visual composition/remake using excerpts from the silent film “Häxan” (The Witch) - 1922,
by Benjamin Christensen.
Imaginary sounds and noises help to reinterpret an atmosphere in a desolated monastery in Northern Europe... monks routines, fears and superstitions, a time travel to middle ages where love had a suspicious role in a woman's life...
Premiered at the
New Music for Silent Film Festival (16-Nov-2018)
at the "Culver Center of the Arts"
