SUZZANNA Queen Of Black Magic

ABOUT

SUZZANNA Queen Of Black Magic

A fascinating documentary on Indonesia's undisputed scream queen, who starred in 42 classic movies, was hailed as ‘The Queen of Indonesian Horror’ and crowned ‘Asia’s Most Popular Actress’.

But who was Suzzanna Martha Frederika van Osch, long-beloved by the Asian world as Suzzanna yet virtually unknown outside it?

In this new documentary by David Gregory, whose previous explorations of transgressive cinema include LOST SOUL: THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEY’S ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU, BLOOD & FLESH: THE REEL LIFE & GHASTLY DEATH OF AL ADAMSON and ENTER THE CLONES OF BRUCE, discover the enigmatic horror star best known for portraying vengeful spirits from Indonesian folklore, demons whose supernatural retribution are widely believed to have influenced her controversial life and mysterious death.

Through exclusive interviews with family, colleagues, filmmakers, and historians, as well as clips from her classic films including SUNDEL BOLONG (1981), NYI BLORONG (1982), MALAM SATU SURO (1988) and more, Gregory unearths the legacy of the Indonesian Scream Queen who has begun to emerge as one of the most compelling feminist icons in cinema history.

For info on the rest of the HORRORFEST (running from 30 October - 10 November), which includes new & classic movies, dozens of short films (you're unlikely to see in any SA cinema), The Makabra Ensemble's live soundtrack performance to classic 1911 Italian silent film DANTE'S INFERNO (L'Inferno), the Bloody Parchment literature night, Halloween dress-up, prizes, give-aways and much more.
