“Everything belongs to me in Suspiria.” – Daria Nicolodi

Suspiria is the classic fantasy-horror film directed by Dario Argento in which a young American ballerina goes to a dance school in Berlin only to discover it’s operated by a coven of witches. The story comes from Daria Nicolodi (Argento’s wife and actress) involving her grandmother and the collection of essays, Suspiria de prundis, by Thomas De Quincey; essential influences that both come directly from Nicolodi. The FOFIF presents this beloved film with the context of Nicolodi’s writing and creative labor context in mind.

Inspired by the essay “The Secret Beyond the Door” by Martha Shearer in “Women Make Horror: Filmmaking, Feminism, Genre.
