The first movie night is March 10 |
Monthly Faith + FilmSimón of the DesertJoin us for our inaugural movie night: We are beginning a monthly movie night, where we will view a film with theological themes and informally discuss it as a group. The first movie will be the 1965 Spanish language film, Simón of the Desert, directed by Luis Buñuel. It’s the story of a deeply religious man in the 4th century, who wants to be nearer to God, but the Devil tries to tempt him from his path of holiness. Please be advised: this film is intended for a mature audience. The second movie night on Friday, April 28 (Cranmer Hall) will feature the film version of the book title being discussed earlier in the week during our Faith + Fiction on April 26 (see below), Babette’s Feast, which has the distinction as being the first Danish movie to win an Academy Award for best foreign language film. |
