In the spring a series of film discussions in co-operation with Cliff Foreman of Covenant College, Georgia, USA, was held for Christians in Slovakia. The purpose of the film series was to 'read' the media of cinema in terms of its art and in what it might say in dialogue with the Christian worldview.
The series started with four movies in a weekend festival, March 14-16, titled 'Show me a story'. Other films were shown over five Monday evenings through to the end of April. The following excerpts are from a SEN field study being written on film and discernment.
No other aspect of popular culture is as popular as cinema and film. Perhaps surprisingly, this is equally true for Christians as we go to the movies just about as much as everyone else.
