Advanced Research Centre , University of Glasgow, 11 Chapel Lane Glasgow G11 6EW
Spooky Halloween screening of the 1990 cult-classic, The Witches (1990). In this Roald Dahl adaptation, a little boy and his kindly grandmother thwart the efforts of a coven of witches to rid Britain of children by turning them into mice.
After the screening, you will hear from Kachine Moore and Katherine Prentice, two researchers from the School of Culture and Creative Arts whose work explores the occult in film. They’ll be discussing representations of witches and witchcraft in popular cinema and how the witch became such a potent cultural symbol.
