In the trailer for Arjuna Neuman’s new film, Caesium Forest, you see a swat team outside a hotel room, then a Christian man in a space that looks like a slapdash club, talking about how grateful he is. Later, there will be an explosion in the hotel room and the grateful Christian and friends will lose themselves in a techno party that’s there way of worshipping. Worship, or reverence, is what interested Neuman — sometimes it’s religious or sometimes the communities he films revere certain technological innovations (like the space shuttle). He’s debuting the film at Echo Park Film Center.
