Mommy, what’s a mondo mix? Well, Mondo Mixes are Cinefamily’s signature homemade long-form modern videomontages of found footage madness that can blow your mind and put a smile on your face, may or may not be hazardous to your health, reknew or destroy your faith in humanity, but just might change your life. We promise. For this month's Mondo, we take you on a tour of films that screened on church walls, religious channels, at tent revivals, and childrens' summer camps. 'Cause first and foremost, evangelical filmmakers are just that: filmmakers. They want to engage, excite, scare and please their audience with the best rip-roarin’ tale they can -- but with a message, too! They try and deliver the goods like Hollywood would, but on indie-film budgets and sans sinful influence. It’s a juicy universe, full of psychotic, contemptuous atheists, penny-ante 16mm apocalypse movies shot in small-town Iowa, and fire-and-brimstone visions of hell (recreated on "community theatre" scale.) From public access loudmouth preachers and rapping pirates, to inspirational burn victim crooner documentaries, these films will blow your mind and save your souls at the same. The finale is a rare 16mm screening of the collaboration between exploitation filmmaker Ron Ormond and Southern preacher Estus Pirkle (a match made in heaven), If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?
