The Possibility of Spirits
2016
72
'
Directed by
Mattijs van de Port
.
What is it that you film when you film a spirit? I was brought up to believe that spirits do not exist. Years of research on an afro-Brazilian spirit possession cult taught me the limits of such euro-centric views. Refusing to choose between belief and disbelief, I embraced my not-knowing. The Possibility of Spirits is an essay-film that keeps the mystery of spirits centre stage. Borrowing from surrealist montage-techniques, the estrangement effect of Brechtian theatre and a Brazilian taste for the genuinely made-up, it invites viewers to let themselves be confused and -- in that confusion -- consider the possibility of spirits.
