purgatory / noun / an intermediate place or state
of temporary suffering for expiatory purification
Within the word “purgatory”, it is easy
to envision condemned souls, torment and darkness. However, purgatory
may also reflect the cyclic state in which we often rediscover or
recreate ourselves anew from within our personal inflictions. Sometimes
it is the necessary stage to exorcise ourselves from the haunting ghosts
of the past. Perhaps it is the serene place of self reflection and
realization.
From within this, DAMNED proudly presents an exhibition of powerful cinema called Purgatory.
Held on March 30th & 31st 2012 at the Tangent Gallery in Detroit,
Purgatory will present various short films of deeply introspective,
beautifully disturbing and darkly enlightening subject matters from
filmmakers local and worldwide. This is not an industry-focused horror
film festival, but a tributary showcase of the often redemptive films
from the filmmaker’s personal damnations.
The full film schedule will be released by March 1st.
