Norway l 2026 l Norwegian with English Subtitles l Documentary/Music | Unclassified MA15+ Director Maja Holand’s beguiling documentary charts the rapid rise of the Norwegian black metal phenomenon Witch Club Satan, mapping the fiery commentary that hounds them to the Scandanavian witch trials of 16th & 17th century. Set in Norway’s legendary black metal scene, HEX follows three young women — Nikoline, Victoria, and Johanna — who form the band without knowing how to play a single instrument. Over three years, they commit to becoming witches and musicians, using black metal to unleash raw, female power. But as the band gains momentum, it also gains a will of its own, testing their unity, values, and vision of freedom. Haunted by the echoes of historical witch trials, the film asks: What does it mean to be a free woman today, and are we still condemning witches to silence? Presented by Sydney Opera House
