Trailer: A SPELL TO WARD OFF THE DARKNESS by Ben Russell & Ben Rivers

A SPELL TO WARD OFF THE DARKNESS (TRAILER) from Ben Russell & Ben Rivers

Get ready for the cinematic hot fire. Coming in Summer 2012.

From pagan re-enactors to Scandinavian communes, black metal concerts to Arctic hermits, and the forever Golden Hour to the Northern Lights, A SPELL TO WARD OFF THE DARKNESS is an inquiry into the possibilities of a spiritual existence within an increasingly secular world.

Starring musician Robert AA Lowe (LICHENS) and co-directed by Ben Rivers (UK) and Ben Russell (USA), A SPELL is a feature-length film that lies between fiction and non-fiction, a record of experience that proposes belief in transcendence as a viable outcome of living in the now.

This trailer features music by LICHENS and LITURGY and was supported in part by PUMA. Creative Catalyst Award in partnership with BRITDOC Foundation – www.britdoc.org/catalyst
