Our Purgatory

This collective film a cinematographic performance in a way a tribute to the poet and priest Jakub Deml presents the experiences of individual creators upon encountering his texts from the ensemble My Purgatory It wavers between spontaneous even raw film and conceptual performance A heretical mass of four interpenetrating parts in color Closure Pilgrimage Home Cemetery which define typically Deml motifs The fifth part in high contrast black and white is a reaction to the illusion of a colorful world a voice from the graveyard that frames the eternally absurd human quest for immortality
