DEMO DERBY

Demolition Derbies are a "sport" with few rules and only one aim, to wreck each others' car. Watch the slow transformation of old cars decorated with dead heads and slogans like "It hurts", "You lose" or "In memory of dad" into deformed, smoking bulks of metal on broken wheels. It's the grotesque beauty of car crashes: A ballet of pure energy and adrenaline driven destruction. 2001. USA. 9'. Director: Heidrun Holzfeind
