PRESS RELEASE – Global Reverse Casting Call to Reconnect with Anonymous Faces Filmed Over 15 Years<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Copenhagen, Denmark. 19.03.2026.<\/strong>
The producers of the documentary project Purification announce a global initiative – a reverse casting call to reconnect with individuals filmed anonymously across more than twenty countries over a 15-year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanning five continents and filmed gradually between 2011 and 2026, Purification<\/em> is a 75-minute poetic documentary exploring the consequences of greed for humanity with a language of visual poetry without dialogue. The film presents humanity itself as the central subject – not through individual stories, but through accumulated fragments of presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the film approaches its release, a defining realisation has emerged: some of the individuals whose faces form the visual memory of the film were never identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Reverse Casting Call Across Continents<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional casting calls, this initiative moves retrospectively – from image to identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The countries of filming have been Armenia, Australia, Bulgaria, China, Cyprus<\/strong>, Czech Republic, Denmark<\/strong>, Egypt, France, Georgia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Montenegro<\/strong>, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sixty-two still frames from the film have been publicly released. Individuals who recognize themselves – or someone they know – are invited to write to contact@purificationfilm.com. The intention extends beyond identification. Those found will be invited, where possible, to attend premiere screenings near their cities, symbolically reconnecting the film with the people who unknowingly became part of its creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 15-Year Cross-Continental Documentary Experiment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Rather than documenting specific events, the film assembles gestures, crowds, rituals, landscapes, and fleeting encounters – constructing a non-linear, sensory reflection on the trajectory of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its structure avoids dialogues, relying on visual rhythm, juxtaposition and accumulation to evoke meaning. The result is an allegorical composition in which individuals appear not as characters, but as fragments of a larger human condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duration:<\/strong> 75 minutes
