What is Surface Rites about?
A young Slovakian immigrant opens a uranium mine near Elliot Lake in northern Ontario, and later builds a massive replica of the modest church from his childhood village. Stranded amongst suburban streets named after prize-winning Holstein cows, this monumental cathedral now sits, unfinished and private. Teenage zombies emerge from lakes and rivers around Serpent River First Nation, once poisoned with uranium waste. There is talk of eugenics at a Holstein pageant, and a retired dairy farmer and his wife remember a recurring dream where their work is never done. The film reflects a distinct Canada style and perspective. The story is brought to life by directors Parastoo Anoushahpour and Faraz Anoushahpour. With a runtime of 24 minutes, it offers a concise viewing experience.
