Event overview
BADS is delighted to host a series of screenings to coincide with the launch of the Decadence, Magick, and Occult Network (DMON) at the Decadence Research Centre at Goldsmiths.
The first of these screenings will be Edmund Elias Merhige’s experimental silent horror Begotten (1989), a deeply macabre and visually relentless ‘ritual captured on film’ (Mark Paterson). This film is not for the faint of heart and viewer discretion is advised.
This DMON screening will be preceded by a special introduction by cult-movie collector, visual artist, and author, Madeline Le Despencer.
Madeline Le Despencer is a visual artist, educator, and independent researcher whose focus is on fin de siècle conceptions of diabolism and heretical movements within Catholicism. She has written on decadence and the occult for Three Hands Press, Hadean Press, as well as various online journals. Her research on Berthe de Courrière was featured in the journal Cercle des Amateurs de Remy de Gourmont. She is currently writing a biography of Abbe Boullan for Three Hands Press.
Tickets are free but please book via the Eventbrite link.
