Title 1 Description:
A figurative painter holds an art reception. The critics and the audience are less than impressed by his art project and they tell him so. He does not take the critisism well. He looses his mind completely and starts hallucinating before passing out. In his dreams he gets his revenge. But dreams are short-lived.

The Doctrine of Hell
Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further. -- Soren Kierkegaard
The Doctrine of Hell, machinima animation video, 13 min., 2006
Every religion believes there is one ultimate God; but each insists that its own God is supreme. The Protestant Church is no exception.
The Doctrine of Hell is a sermon about the suffering of non-believers after death. The preacher, the focus of the film, is glowingly engaged in his task. He wants to save non-believers from Hell. In Hell, poverty, flames, crying and eternal suffering await the doomed. The preacher is believable and sincere. There is only one way out of the suffering, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ.
It may be argued that the film approaches the sermon as a literary text, and illustrates it without being predisposed towards or against the message.
A major purpose of the film is to shed some light on the rise of extremism within the Christian communities. This is important in these times where so much negative attention are directed towards the Islamic faith.
Man is the religious animal. He is the only religious animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion ?- several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat, if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven.

You may have to be our PAM rep at WRO. We had something come up where we cannot make it.
