Motherhood = Horror?
The Babadook + Short films
Location & Time: Griessmühle - 21:30
Tickets available online here
Event Information
In this program we will take a look at motherhood from a different perspective combining the genre of horror with a realistic view on life as a single mother.
The Berlin Feminist Film Week presents a selection of short films on dealing with motherhood in combination with Jennifer Kent’s critically acclaimed horror film The Babadook. Although all the go-to horror elements are present (the bad kid, the haunted house, the mother), Kent also creates a second dimension of the film: an honest depiction of single parenthood in the wake of a tragedy.
