It is more than forty years ago and the story is almost forgotten, the one about Inger Svensson, a young woman from Öland who wanted to be a priest when the resistance against female priests was the hardest. When the woman would be silent in the congregation and only the man could proclaim the word of God. A film about faith and doubt, about hope and despair and deepest sorrow. And whether to forgive our debtors.The Mighty Spirit

Meanwhile, composed of non-actors, Senakulo re-enacts the sufferings and death of Jesus. As the local community yearly unites to commemorate the Passion of Christ, a laborious journey unfolds following local craftsmen in transforming blocks of wood into a larger than life Jesus crucified on a 12-ft cross.Horarium

On Valentine's Day, 1993, Caveh Zahedi decided to ingest 5 grams (a very large dose) of hallucinogenic mushrooms. For the first time in his mushroom-taking history, he had an experience of "divine possession," in which he felt that a divine being took possession of his body and spoke through him, in a voice that was not his, and with knowledge that he himself did not possess. He later tried several times to repeat the experience. I WAS POSSESSED BY GOD is the documentary record of one such attempt.Púlpito e Parlamento: Evangélicos na Política
