Seeing is Believing: Conversations between Film & Faith

Seeing is Believing is a monthly film series that provides a unique opportunity for those who enjoy viewing and discussing movies. It invites conversation about the critical role of film in visualizing the spiritual and social challenges of our time. Sessions will be held on three Sunday afternoons. Each session will begin with the screening of an award-winning film at Cinematheque (100 Arthur St. in Winnipeg) followed by a light dinner and lively discussion at a local restaurant. Cost: $68 per person (three films and dinner) or $6 per person per film only.

The movies have been chosen because they meet the criteria of the Ecumenical Juries which serve approximately twenty film festivals in Europe and Canada. Such films have high artistic merit; they lend expression to a perspective on human experience that stimulates creative conversation with Scripture; and they encourage sensitivity to spiritual and social values and questions.

Facilitator: Gordon Matties is Associate Professor of Biblical & Theological Studies CMU and has recently served on ecumenical juries for world film festivals in both Montreal (2003) and Berlin (2005).
