Hexham Heads by Chloë Delanghe and Mattijs Driesen

16MM, 6X4.5CM PHOTOGRAPHS AND VHS SCANNED TO DIGITAL FILE, COLOUR AND BLACK AND WHITE, 4:3, 5.1. SURROUND, ENGLISH SPOKEN, UK/BE, 34′

In 1971, a family living in the town of Hexham was plagued by a series of paranormal events. After bringing a pair of small stone heads into their home, the family became terrorized by the ghostly sounds and images these objects exerted. Hexham Heads adopts an impressionistic approach to this contemporary folk tale. Using the story as a point of departure, the film guides us through a multitude of spaces in which time and matter become still-frozen, stretched, and repeated. A darkroom, an apartment, a house, a warehouse for construction materials, are all connected and portrayed through the spectral lens of photography.

The film follows life, death and transformation of a pig.
