Screaming Men
NEW DOCS
Twenty-five men, mostly blonde, form a two-row semi-circle around a pre-determined point on a large expanse of ice just inside the Arctic Circle. One anticipates song. However, the mix of shouts, yells, and spewing spittle that follows tells one immediately the title is spot on. Huutajat, a behind the scenes look at an internationally known voice choir, takes the art documentary to a delightful new level. An examination of the development, performance, and musings on experimental art, Huutajat, stretches the boundaries of the nature of auditory entertainment. KF
