On wednesday 25 April, Thijs Porck has organised a Beowulf Film Night. For more information, see the announcement below.


Dear all,

Over the years, the Old English poem Beowulf has not only captured the hearts and minds of students like yourselves, it has also inspired several movie and television producers. With no less than ten professional film adaptations, Beowulf is one of the most cinematised works of English literature.

On the 25th of April, an ancient Leiden University tradition will be revived: the Beowulf film night. In a brief lecture entitled ‘The Various Faces of the Grendelkin in Beowulf movies’, you will be presented with an overview of the ten film adaptations. Afterwards, we will watch one Beowulf film (to be decided on by democratic vote).

So, if you want to know how Beowulf found its way into a Startrek episode, how an animated Beowulf tried to fight a naked Angelina Jolie, how Gerald Butler (from 300) defeated a rather hairy Grendel or how Christopher Lambert (from Highlander) played Beowulf in a “a post-apocalyptic, techno-feudal future”, then please join us on Wednesday the 25th of April in Lipsius/228 from 19:00 to 22:00.

Kind regards,

Thijs Porck

Do you want to find out how Doctor Who influenced the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings in 1066?

If so, please join us on Thursday the 22nd of March between 15:00 and 18:00 in Lipsius/005 when we will watch four classic episodes of the first Doctor Who from 1965. Prior to the episodes there will be a short lecture on Doctor Who’s other visits to Anglo-Saxon England.
