Yet what if the reconstructions don\u2019t just feature the documentary\u2019s real-life subjects, but are expressly conceived and realized by them \u2014 not recreating reality so much as their lingering, haunted memories thereof? That\u2019s a different proposition entirely, as is \u201cProcession,\u201d a risky, wrenching film in which celebrated docmaker Robert Greene frequently surrenders the directorial reins to his subjects and collaborators: six middle-aged, middle-American men living with the trauma of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic Church priests and clergymen.<\/p>\n<p>With each of these survivors given the means and support to make an interpretive short film rooted in their decades-old experience, \u201cProcession\u201d is intricately woven from the amateur filmmakers\u2019 original work, alongside Greene\u2019s patient, empathetic observation of their creative process. The effect of these overl<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing lenses is to capture both subjective personal truth and a wider, more journalistic view of a collective tragedy in the same cracked mirror; the film offers its vulnerable ensemble a form of dramatic therapy in which they ask and answer all the most troubling questions themselves.<\/p>\n<p>In a less experienced or more exploitative helmer\u2019s hands, this could have been a misguided enterprise at best. For Greene, however, \u201cProcession\u201d represents the most rigorous application yet of his ongoing fascination with performance as a conduit for \u201creality,\u201d inasmuch as cinema acknowledges the difference. In \u201cActress\u201d and \u201cKate Plays Christine,\u201d the camera caught professional actors in the crevasse between their on- and off-camera selves. In Greene\u2019s last feature, \u201cBisbee \u201917,\u201d amateur actors restaged an ugly episode of their Arizonan town\u2019s history as an act of community catharsis. \u201cProcession\u201d logically continues this progression to civilians enacting their own personal history, though anyone expecting straightforward <em>v\u00e9rit\u00e9<\/em> from their short films may be stunned by the frequently radical, emotive expressionism on display.<\/p>\n<p>The film opens on the 2018 Kansas City press conference that first alerted the Missouri-based Greene to the stories documented here, as attorney Rebecca Randles appeared with sexual abuse survivors Michael Sandridge, Tom Viviano and Mike Foreman \u2014 just three victims, Randles reminds us, of the many assaulted by over 230 Catholic priests known to be abusers in the KCK area. Moved by their testimony, Greene approached them with his novel idea for a collaboration. Once they agreed, three further survivors \u2014 Joe Eldred, Ed Gavagan and Dan Laurine \u2014 boarded the project, with local drama therapist Monica Phinney leading their unpredictably raw, candid workshops. Greene himself is a less visible presence in proceedings, keenly perceptive but never intrusive as he sits in on their psychological\u00a0and creative deliberations.<\/p>\n<p>The men, largely strangers to each other, share little beyond a common source of trauma, and their respective approaches to working through it \u2014 personally, spiritually and artistically \u2014 vary wildly. New York-based contractor Gavagan initially puts a constructively heroic spin on their collective campaign for justice (\u201cWe want to be like Marvel superheroes vanquishing the forces of justice\u201d), though his film, \u201cGod Switches Sides,\u201d is sober and simple, focused on the hands of priests performing holy and unholy actions. Foreman, on the other hand, is a coiled spring of vengeful, expletive-laden fury, whose tellingly named short \u201cBlatant Lies in the Name of the Lord\u201d gives him a platform to vent righteously at the Church review board that dismissed his case in 2013. (In this case, Greene\u2019s project permits its subjects to amend or correct a reality that initially passed them by.)<\/p>\n<p>Binding the men\u2019s diverse cinematic statements is a remarkable young actor, Terrick Trobough, who plays their childhood proxies in each scene with a mature, porous receptiveness to their pain \u2014 even if, as he quietly admits, \u201cit\u2019s not my reality.\u201d Greene\u2019s own crew, meanwhile, serves the survivors\u2019 films artfully but modestly, never imposing excess aesthetic polish on fragile memories: Keegan Dewitt and Dabney Morris\u2019s glassy, nervy score, in particular, is a vital ally, its arrangements tightening and tensing according to the story being told. Two of the men hold off on directing their own films, but their contributions are stirringly felt. Viviano, unable to share his experience for legal reasons, commits fiercely as an actor to the other men\u2019s visions, while affable location scout Laurine\u2019s winding, uncertain search for the site of his and his brother\u2019s childhood abuse makes for one of the film\u2019s most purely devastating arcs.<\/p>\n<p>For a film bearing so many open wounds, however, \u201cProcession\u201d never feels strenuously somber or despairing: It\u2019s not hard to see why Netflix (having acquired the film following a successful debut at Telluride) was drawn to a work that leads with humanity and healing, without straining for uplift where it plainly doesn\u2019t belong. (For one thing, the largely unsatisfying fates of the men\u2019s abusers \u2014 some escaped, some protected, none brought fully to justice \u2014 are detailed in restrained, resigned captions.) \u201cProcession\u201d is, in its own elegant and uneasy way, an inspiring film, idealistically invested in cinema itself as a medium for confession, confrontation and self-expression, not least when Greene hands over the camera to other filmmakers in need of its power.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
