Film Festival
Religion, Society, and Social Conflict
This festival presents a variety of films exploring the role of religion in the
modern world. Cross-cultural and critical, it presents religion in its many guises. We see
how religion ties people together--and how it breaks them apart. We see how it can be an
escape from the world, and how it can be a means of greater social engagement. Above all,
the films lead us beyond our accustomed habits into the lives of others, as they struggle
to craft meaning out of chaos.
Each evening showing lasts between 1 and 2 hours. Each film will be followed by
audience discussion.
