Tongues and Assistants (2013)

The scenes in Tongues and Assistants are not staged. They are a registration of a large Pentecostal church gathering in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Mik focuses well on the small absorbed movements and the public (auto staged) displays of ecstasy of those attending. This way, he is able to exaggerate what is happening and draw focus to it, to an extent even control it.
