AWARD FOR ORIGINAL APPROACH
at Ji.hlava IDFF
The jury’s statement:
“An absorbing and arresting cinematic study of everyday cleaning and cleansing practices in a diverse range of work, institutional and social settings, from slaughterhouse to space station. Cleaning & Cleansing is rigorously formal and precise, with strikingly ‚clean‘ editing and sound design complementing the images perfectly. Our modern Western obsession with cleanliness and hygiene are put under the microscope here in a surprisingly engaging way.“
