Dir. Nietzchka Keene (1990) | Iceland | English | 79 min | DCP

Set in medieval Iceland, The Juniper Tree follows Margit (Björk, in a riveting performance) and her older sister Katla (Bryndis Petra Bragadottir) as they flee for safety after their mother is burned to death for witchcraft. Finding shelter and protection with Johan (Valdimar Orn Fygenring), and his resentful young son, Jonas (Geirlaug Sunna Pormar), the sisters help form an impromptu family unit that’s soon strained by Katla’s burgeoning sorcery. A potent allegory for misogyny and its attendant tragedies, The Juniper Tree is a major rediscovery for art house audiences. Restored in 4K from the original 35mm camera negative and sound elements.
