Horror film intertwines fairy tale with political critique - Mitacs Globalink Intern publishes in online journal
Wed. Sep. 11, 2024
Horror, fairy tales, and politics intertwine in a narrative rooted in Chilean history that reveals a profound political commentary through film in The Wolf House. An observational analysis of the film, written by UWinnipeg Mitacs Globalink Intern, Julián David Saldarriaga Cardona, was published in Brumal, an online journal.
Cardona worked with Mitacs faculty advisor, Dr. Pauline Greenhill, a fairy-tale expert and a professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at UWinnipeg.
“Working with Dr. Greenhill was a major highlight,” shared Cardona. “Her knowledge of horror, folklore, and fairy tales, which are key themes in the film, added so much to the research.”
