Join Rebel Queer Film for a Winter Solstice Festival: WITCH // HAG on 21 December at Stereo.
Starting in the afternoon and ending at 3am, there will be 6 films screenings, DJs, stalls and surprises.
Witches and Hags are ancient archetypes. Myths and tales of witches have been told as long as women have transgressed gender roles. Historically, the hag was everything that a man feared. She was ugly, she was subversive, and she was powerful. Anytime a woman transgresses she risks being called a Witch, even now. The gruesome true history of the witch massacres of Scotland gives this archetype a deep authenticity in the Scottish Psyche.
