EMPTY CHURCH

Documentary Short

Empty Church - Shortfilm by Andreas Uranowicz

The Lutheran Church runs Toby Ambohimahazo, a remote exorcism center near Antsirabe, Madagascar. In this area, people believe that mental illness is a form of spirit possession.

Pierre, a man imprisoned for smoking weed, lives at the center with about 200 others deemed "possessed". Rivo, the lead exorcist, holds daily religious rituals to save people through Jesus.

The documentary gradually reveals repetitive routines as a reflection of institutional control. These rituals highlight the spiritual intensity that sustains the community, but also the quiet suffering of the people inside. The story of healing through faith shifts when Pierre is abused and mentally harmed, while Rivo desperately searches for a real case of possession.

"Empty Church" is an examination of a spiritual system created for vulnerable lives, raising questions about faith, power and human rights.

Gospel of Mark 1, 32-34

32 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.

MALAGASY KIDS

Photography Series

During my visit to the highlands of Madagascar to record footage for a documentary film about the threatened environment, I encountered some curious children while capturing shots of the landscapes. As I moved to different locations, the children began to follow me closely. I quickly turned around to take photos of them and they initially responded by hiding or jumping aside. However, as time passed, they grew more confident and engaged in a playful game with me. The end result was a powerful shot showcasing Malagasy children in the highlands protecting their threatened environment.

SAVIKA

Photography Series

Savika is a Malagasy tradition where men ride on bulls. This event takes place once a year during Easter time in Ambositra, located in the highlands of Madagascar. The brave participants, called Mpisavika, do not receive any trophies for their courage. Rather, it is a rite of passage for young men to prove their bravery and responsibility to the community.

In Malagasy culture, owning a zebu is considered the most prized possession a man can have, even more important than owning a house or a car. Savika is just another way of expressing the bond between man and zebu.

"Savika symbolizes the love between humans and their zebus. Despite appearing as a fight, it signifies the deep connection between two individuals who become of the same mind with each other."
