FAITH & FILM LAUNCES SEASON 3!

After two successful seasons, we are preparing for Season 3: 2008-09. We invite your suggestions of films. The film does not need to have a specifically religious theme. The idea is to view a film and explore concepts of faith inherent in the story or characters. E-mail your suggestion by May 12 to gcarpenter@thereslifehere.org, or speak to a committee member.

Our Film Festival currently has about 15 sponsors. The cost/sponsorship is $30/person. We invite new sponsors. By way of your offering envelope, you may write a cheque to CCDP and note Faith & Film Festival. The monies are used to pay for the cost of obtaining films and complimentary refreshments served each evening. Consider becoming a new sponsor for the 3rd Season!

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, sincerity.

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 Faith & Film 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.
