Art Hub Film Club is back. This time around, we invite you to take a trip to the scary side of things through four different film programs, curated by Søren Thilo Funder (DK), Aaron Moulton (US), Emilie Alstrup (DK), and Klara Hobza (CZ).

The various film programs respond to the overarching theme Into the Dark We Enter and will explore horror aesthetics in the context of a present that is embedded in horror: The horror of war, the horror of climate change, the horror of economic power, and the horror of political persecution.

In other words, this season’s film club takes horror seriously as a relevant and critical form of contemporary cultural expression. That said, the programs do intend to make you shiver and scream.

Into the Dark We Enter is conceptualized and produced by Jacob Lillemose for AHC.

Coming up:

20 March 2025 /// 19:00 – 21:00 /// curated by artist Emilie Alstrup

A mash-up of bodily distortions.

Curated by Emilie Alstrup

Contamination:/ (noun):

The action or state of making or being made impure by polluting or poisoning.

 The program will feature a visceral collection of body horror imagery that visually experiments with the modern human in various states of contamination. The imagery engages with various ways of dealing with everyday life, and how we try to rescue our minds while outrunning our bodies. Moreover, the fragmented selections of clips, depicts how social connections might also generate alienation and destruction, and poison our powers of reasoning.
