Culture Center Studentski Grad, March 4, 2026 – From Pyres to the Silver Screen: Lecture and Film Discussion

Join us in the Small Hall of the Culture Center Studentski Grad for an intriguing evening lecture: 'From Pyres to the Silver Screen'. Discover how witches have evolved from historical narratives and persecutions to become modern film icons. Playwrights Andrea Poljak and Anja Bilanović will guide attendees through a rich discussion on the symbolism, fear, and fascination witches invoke in society, as well as their role as symbols of resistance and liberation. The screening of carefully selected film clips will serve as a starting point for comments and an open dialogue on feminist interpretations and societal power structures. This evening session offers a unique opportunity for collective reflection on the transformation of witches from dark legends to pop culture phenomena.
