Description

Explores the integral spirituality of the human condition through the power of story and cinema. What does it mean to shape and project our stories on screen? How does the cinema respond to our changing world through the matrix of seeing and being seen? Central questions include the power of cinema to frame and reframe histories and social memories, raising further questions about representation and identity, emergence and transformation, fragmentation and wholeness. Readings, screenings, and interactive exercises will serve as the primary source material for our exploration of these issues. (Communication/Religious Studies)
