Clean Hands

Lauren DeFilippo / United States / 2016 / East European Premiere / 9 min.


synopsis

A grassy area fills with arriving cars. The passengers are given bread and wine and a programme for the religious service. All they have to do is tune in their radio to the right station, and the Sunday service begins. In Daytona Beach, Florida, the concept of drive-in theatres has been adapted for an unusual purpose. DeFilippo’s observational documentary takes a look at this modern church.

biography

In her documentary shorts, American director Lauren DeFilippo (1983) looks at unusual stories of visionaries and forgotten places. Her films have earned her praise as a new talent at international festivals.
