Written and directed by Benjamin Christensen, Häxan is described as “a witches’ brew of the scary, the gross, and the darkly humorous.” Praised for its combination of documentary-style and narrative storytelling, as well as its visual imagery, Häxan is considered Christensen's masterpiece, providing audiences with an experience unlike anything else in the history of cinema. The film will be live-scored with a performance featuring new work by **Paris1919**, the musical collective of celebrated composer Chris Strouth and select Twin Cities musicians, including Natalie Nowytski (a classically-trained vocalist-turned-folk music geek who sings in 50+ languages and 12+ distinct vocal styles), guitarist Kent Militzer, and multi-instrumentalist David J. Russ, and Terrell X D'avion (Carnage The Executioner) one of America's premier beat boxers and a legendary figure of midwestern Hip-Hop. Strouth’s work has been described as “aggressively ambient,” and this will mark his seventh silent film score for the Parkway. Presented in conjunction with **Sound Unseen**.
