Information
has glosseng: Häxan (English title: The Witches or Witchcraft Through The Ages) is a 1922 Swedish/Danish silent film written and directed by Benjamin Christensen. Based partly on Christensens study of the Malleus Maleficarum, a 15th century German guide for inquisitors, Häxan is a study of how superstition and the misunderstanding of diseases and mental illness could lead to the hysteria of the witch-hunts. The film was made as a documentary but contains dramatized sequences that are comparable to horror films. With Christensens meticulous recreation of medieval scenes and the lengthy production period, the film was the most expensive Scandinavian silent film ever made, costing nearly two million Swedish krona.

Leikstjórinn var þeirrar skoðunar að kvikmyndin væri upplagður miðill fyrir fræðslu af þessu tagi. Sama ár kom út Nanook of the North sem venjulega er talin fyrsta eiginlega heimildamyndin.
