Christ Church Deer Park - Faith & Film Festival 2009-2010

A number of people have expressed an interest in the documentary film, Voices to Remember, by Vladimir Bondarenko, that was shown at our last event. This was an amazing documentary about adults who stutter. If you are interested in acquiring a copy, please contact Vladimir at email ».

learning Ministry FAITH AND FILM SPONSORS The fall is the time of the Toronto Film Festival and the CCDP Faith and Film Festival. Each year we highlight 6 films that provoke questions of faith, life and spirituality - from Indiana Jones to Milk to Bonhoeffer. We have modest expenses for these events and look to the congregation for help. This is an event that brings in both people from our parish and people from our neighbourhood. Please help us out with a sponsorship donation of $30 or what you can give. Thank you.

We have become,
for better or worse,
a visually oriented
society. Because
literature is
no longer the
dominant form of
expression, script
writers, directors,
and actors do more to shape the
culture which we
live in than do the
giants of literature

- Todd Kappelman
Assistant Director of
the Trinity Institute

faith n. 1. reliance or trust in a person or thing. 2. belief in a religious doctrine. 3. a system of religious belief, the Christian faith. 4. a promise, loyalty, since.ity.

Expressions of faith can be readily found in the arts. Music, paintings, frescos and sculptures have, through the centuries, provided numerous examples of faith as seen by the artist. Film is another more contemporary medium in which faith can be expressed. The more obvious examples of faith & film can be seen in such well-known films as The Ten Commandments, The Greatest Story Ever Told, The Sound of Music, and Chariots of Fire.

But faith & film can also be found in more subtle ways in the lives of “everyday” people. The series of six films selected for the Faith & Film Festival have been chosen with several objectives: to entertain, to stimulate thought, and to encourage an exchange of ideas on what it means to be a Christian – an exchange of ideas on faith in a non-liturgical setting.

Wit
