Taking Up Serpents

Directed by Matthias Lawetzky

In West Virginia, there’s a small church that handles venomous serpents as an act of faith. Death is a constant companion. While the preacher’s son questions the rigid beliefs of their tight-knit community, a father takes his little boy on a hunting trip that spirals out of control.

The filmmaker will be present for a post-screening Q&A.
