Euroregion Elbe/Labe

»Kladivo na čarodějnice« (Witchhammer) on Czech Film Wednesday

02.07.2025 • 20:00 • Zentralkino Dresden

Otakar Vávra's monumental work on the persecution of witches

An inquisitor is summoned to the town of Šumperk to investigate the misdemeanor of a beggar woman. He constructs a trial whose methods guarantee the confession of all the accused. Suddenly, a power is set against the decent and noble citizens, which, under the guise of cleansing the region of witches, is only out for its own enrichment and does not hesitate to sacrifice dozens of innocent lives and destroy its opponents in order to achieve this goal.
