A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness
A meditative, near-wordless triptych follows a man through three phases of life — in a commune on an Estonian island, alone in the Finnish wilderness, and fronting a black-metal band in Norway. An immersive, contemplative art film.
Why it’s here
A British-led experimental feature whose extended Estonian movement observes communal and artistic life from outside.
