Dir: Arrington de Dionyso / 2016 / country / 60 min / High Def Digital

REAK brings the viewer immediately into the center of a trance possession ceremony as it unfolds in Cibodas, West Java, Indonesia. The drums pound without pause as a group of adolescent boys dance, twist, and thrash about the inside circle, possessed by the spirits of natural forces. They are joined by Olympia’s own Arrington de Dionyso (Malaikat dan Singa, Old Time Relijun) on the bass clarinet! Cinema verite and trans-cultural collaboration collide in this extraordinary and hallucinatory document. The director will be present for Q&A following the screening.
