About
Jessica Oreck’s mesmerising film combines Eastern European fairy-tale animation with documentary, personal memories and fiction to reflect on the ongoing resonance of the Slavic story of the witch Baba Yaga in a landscape steeped in social upheaval. Exploring the Europe’s haunted woodlands as places of both danger and shelter, Oreck reflects on the relationship between human conflict and the natural world.
Ages 15+ | Contains mature themes
