We have partnered with Alberta Avenue Vineyard church to host community film discussions at The Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse (9351 118th Ave).

I just wanted to let you know that while there will not be another Body Creative Network Meetup before the year is through (I had said Nov 30th, but due to some major life changes that I’ll write about soon, that is cancelled, and there will be one in the new year), I’m co-hosting a film discussion night on November 23rd (this Sunday) at 6:30 PM at The Carrot. We will be watching and discussing the documentary, War Photographer. Of course, there is an obvious appeal to photographers, but the subject matter affects us all as artists who attempt to capture and create the world around us.

I hope to see you there where the conversation and coffee will flow freely.

Body Creative Network Discussions - 2001: A Space Odyssey

This weekend I had the pleasure of experiencing Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” for the very first time. I must say, even though this film is now 40 years old (!) I was blown away by it.

2001 is our current film under discussion for Faith and Film online and we’d love you to join the conversation. We will be chatting about the film from an artistic viewpoint, as well as a theological and philosophical one.

Body Creative Network Discussions - 2001: A Space Odyssey

It has arrived. Get ready to discuss the film, Sunshine, by Danny Boyle.

Some starting questions (feel free to pose your own) …

The film straddles the line of serious philisophical/theological drama and blockbuster sci-fi action thriller. Did Danny include the latter to get the former out to a wider audience? If Boyle had to pick only one of these paths for his film - which do you think he would have taken and why?

What are the theological points this film is making? (What does this movie say about God?)

What are the philisophical points this film is making? (What does this movie say about us?)

What did you take from this film from a technical/craft standpoint? Visuals, editing, sound, etc…

Why tell a story like this? What does it reveal about its’ writers/creators? What does it’s appeal reveal about our culture?

May the games begin …
