Did both Benjamin Christensen and Vinko Brešan work as film directors?
Benjamin Christensen Benjamin Christensen (28 September 1879 – 2 April 1959) was a Danish film director, screenwriter and an actor both in film and on the stage. As a director he is most well known for the 1922 film "Häxan" and as an actor, he is best known for his performance in the film "Michael" (1924), in which he plays Claude Zoret, the jilted lover of the film's title character.
Häxan Häxan (Danish title: Heksen; English title: The Witches or Witchcraft Through the Ages) is a 1922 Swedish-Danish documentary-style silent horror film written and directed by Benjamin Christensen. Based partly on Christensen's study of the "Malleus Maleficarum", a 15th-century German guide for inquisitors, "Häxan" is a study of how superstition and the misunderstanding of diseases and mental illness could lead to the hysteria of the witch-hunts. The film was made as a documentary but contains dramatised sequences that are comparable to horror films.
