The Black Rite

Overview

Inspired by the landmark 1922 film ‘Häxan: Witchcraft through the Ages’, this new short is led by a buzzing, pulsating score designed by Häxan and composer Ephraim Lovelace. The film imagines our blue earth in the grips of a catastrophic comet shower, bringing about the end of humanity. What is our connection to Gods and ritual in the vast mystery of atomic reality?
