Brent Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: WallflowerPubDate: c2008PhysDes: x, 112 p. : ill. ; 20cmSeries: Short Cuts SeriesSubject: RELIGION AND THE CINEMA ; RELIGION IN FILMS ; RELIGIOUS FILMS Summary: " Religions and films both operate by recreating the known world and presenting that alternative version to their viewers/worshippers. This book brings together religious studies and film studies, asking how the world on film affects religious attitudes, and how millennia-old myths and rituals alter the ways films are made, viewed and interpreted. Films covered range from Hollywood blockbusters like Star Wars and The Matrix to cult films such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show and avant-garde and experimental films like Man with a Movie Camera and Stan Brakhage's The Act of Seeing with Ones Own Eyes.

(some col.) ; 24 cmSubject: HISTORY AND THE CINEMA ; RELIGION AND THE CINEMA ; RELIGIOUS FILMS ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. SILENT PERIOD Summary: " Sanctuary Cinema provides the first history of the origins of the Christian film industry. Focusing on the early days of film during the silent era, it traces the ways in which the Church came to adopt film making as a way of conveying the Christian message to adherents. Surprisingly, rather than separating themselves from Hollywood or the American entertainment culture, early Christian film makers embraced Hollywood cinematic techniques and often populated their films with attractive actors and actresses. But they communicated their sectarian message effectively to believers, and helped to shape subsequent understandings of the Gospel message, which had historically been almost exclusively verbal, not communicated through visual media. While radio eclipsed the motion picture as the Christian communication media of choice by then1920s, the early film makers had laid the foundations for the current re-emergence of Christian film and entertainment, from Veggie Tales to The Passion of the Christ.

It uses film to challenge the sacred/secular divide, spanning a broad range of themes from religion and violence, eschatology, war and peace, to justice, feminism, and the environment. The accessible structure lays out both the methods and theological perspectives required for understanding theology through film. Examples of films discussed range from Unforgiven, Jarhead, and The Passion of the Christ, to An Inconvenient Truth, Something's Gotta Give, and Vanilla Sky.
