Congregation

In 'Congregation', viewers witness the departure and return of churchgoers after Sunday Mass, offering a glimpse into a time long past. The film is a reinterpretation of the 1901 work 'Congregation Leaving St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral, Dublin' by the Edwardian filmmakers James Kenyon and Sagar Mitchell.

This documentary falls under the genre of experimental cinema, characterized by its unique visual style and approach. Lizama's work emphasizes the creaking of time and the depth of ritual through a noisy reinterpretation, creating a compelling audiovisual experience. The film challenges conventional narratives by merging historical footage with contemporary artistic expression, making it a noteworthy part of the experimental genre.
