Documentary film by von Pippo Delbono

»You can’t believe your eyes. They still exist: films that you have to open up to, that almost push you away physically with their shaky mobile phone optics and pathetic artist habitus – but then they still carry an insane core that is essential. These are films that don’t represent anything, but rather perform. ›Evangelium‹ (›Gospel‹) is one such film: highly artificial and simultaneously highly authentic« (Oliver Jungen, Frankfurter Allgemeine, 27.02.2017).

This film tells the story of a refugee camp in which the Italian director Pippo Delbono developed his idea for his theatre piece »Vangelo« (»Gospel«). He doesn’t believe in a God that walks over water while thousands of refugees find their death at the sea. Many clichés are eliminated here.
