"Cinema is our most influential cultural product and our most collaborative art form. Movies are of the people, for the people and by the people. The democratization of film comes from the technological advances in digital cameras and the proliferation of film festivals. This social achievement of entertainment requires a corresponding spiritual celebration and assessment. How is God experienced on celluloid and in the movie house ?
The film retreat is a robust way of discovering and discerning God's presence in the movies. The National Film Retreat is a terrific supplement and alternative to the film festival. "
