REVFF26: Hex

There's so much to this cool piece that takes us well beyond a straight up and down music documentary and into much more unexpected conceptual and social spaces and places.

From the epicentre of metal music of all dark types, three young Norwegian women form a witch pact and start a black metal band—without knowing how to sing or play instruments. Driven by rage and sisterhood, they quickly go from zero to performing on the biggest stages, including Roskilde, before even releasing an album.

The film follows the band over three years, but also functions as a trial where critics and audiences judge whether the members are visionaries or witches who deserve to be burned. A story about friendship, resistance, and carving out a space for yourself in a rigidly normative world.

What this stands for and does is just great to watch as it unfolds with great photography, sound and spirit.
