CULTES compares the mystic rituals of early civilizations with the mass experience of contemporary music festivals - and even though it does concede that the latter creates a harrowing amount of waste, they invite a sort of ritualistic behavior that is essentially similar to the antique traditions that summoned spiritual awakenings and transcendence. Rhythmical and hypnotic, LA(HORDE)s film begs us to consider the moments in which we collectively give ourselves to „higher” powers. (Flavia Dima)
Director:
(La)Horde is a French collective from Paris consisting of three artists: Marine Brutti, Jonathan Debrouwer, and Arthur Harel. The collective develop their practice through stage productions, filmmaking, and installations consisting of video, choreography, and performance.

„In this film, we wanted to capture the concrete manifestation of worship (in French the word “culte” can either mean “iconic” or “cult” as in worship) which is translated into ritualized practices and performances, mass jubilation and a consumerist mass. In a world dominated by the fetish of commodity, is it still possible to have a spiritual experience in these consumerist sanctuaries? Does the individual succeed in creating its own subversive experience?” (La Horde)
