Adele Horne | USA | 2008 | 6' | | IFFR 2009

On the 13th of each month, hundreds of people gather at a site in the Mojave Desert to see visions of the Virgin Mary appear in the sun. As in her previous feature, Horne explores both the material and ideological means and meanings of these public rituals and spiritual transformations.
