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.

The dates for this season:

7 November 2024 /// 19:00 – 21:00 /// curated by artist Søren Thilo Funder

5 December 2024 /// 19:00 – 21:00 /// curated by Aaron Moulton, Head of Exhibitions and Special Projects at Creator Projects

23 January 2025 /// 19:00 – 21:00 /// curated by artist Emilie Alstrup

27 February 2025 /// 19:00 – 21:00 /// curated by artist Klara Hobza

Art Film Club Part I (featuring Søren Thilo Funder): Predators

7 November 2024, 19:00 – 21:00

Curated by artist Søren Thilo Funder, the very first screening program this season is entitled Predators and consists of four films. One is a recent work of his while the other three are works that in quite different ways keep haunting him. What connects the four films is that they all somehow revolve around the notion of a predator. However, the predators in the films cannot be identified straight away, but that rather remains somewhat ill-defined in their intentions, rationale, agency and in terms of the extend of their bodies.

In Sud Vikal by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, a film crew ventures into the dark forest in search of a rare bird which feeds on the blood of other creatures. In The Fall by Jonathan Glazer, a person clings to the top branches of a tree as a group of people down on the forest floor shakes the trunk repeatedly, until the grip is lost, and the person falls in what seems like an eternity. In The Backrooms (Found Footage) by Kane Pixels, a person with a camera finds himself trapped in a maze of a deserted office space only to discover that he’s not alone. And finally, in Archipelago (No one is an island) by Søren Thilo Funder, a group of investment bankers circle around in the dim hotel hallways of a conference center waiting for the imminent moment when head is finally separated from body.
