Tonight at 9:30 p.m., as part of the fabulous Ann Arbor Film Fest, there will be a special showing of a restored print of Benjamin Christensen’s 1922 legendary silent film Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages.

What makes this so special is that an original live score will be performed live by the acclaimed plunderphonic duo Demdike Stare (Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty) who have traveled all the way from Manchester, England.

This is really something to not miss, if at all possible. The show is at Michigan Theatre; tickets should still be available here.
