Gruesome crucifixion | Passion Play by Derek Howard | Short Film | Random Acts

Подробнее о видео

“Passion Play” observes a visceral re-enactment of Christ’s crucifixion portrayed by the people of Angles, Philippines. The film is a mediation on religious traditions and spectacle that gradually divorces itself from reality and embraces a bombastic orchestral score, emphasizing the performative and theatrical aspects of worship. The subjectively of shock and delight, worship and sacrilege, meet in a tense document of passions not for the squeamish.

Derek Howard is a director and cinematographer who earned a BFA from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. His collaborations on short and feature length documentary and fiction films have led to screenings at the Venice Film Festival, Toronto International Fi lm Festival, Sundance Film Festival, HotDocs, IDFA, Clermont-Ferrand, Festival du Nouveau Cinéma (Montreal), Festival des Films du Monde (Montreal), and many others.
