About the event
Can film become a space for meditation, an experience of transcendence, or a way of searching for meaning beyond traditional religion? We will discuss how cinema explores faith, rituals and liminal experiences, while also examining the pitfalls of contemporary spirituality: the commercialisation of mindfulness, spiritual consumerism and the desire for ready-made answers. Can film open us up to the invisible, or does it merely create an appealing illusion of it?
The discussion draws on the theme of issue 78 of the film magazine EKRANy, “New Spirituality”, and the films featured in Five Flavours’ “Poetics of Spirituality” section.
The meeting will take place after the screening of “Becoming Human” at 6:45 PM.
Partner of the debate is EKRANy Magazine.
