Seattle University is hosting a Festival of Faith and Film. Here's a couple of events open to the general public.
A Celebration of Word, Song, and Image
Wednesday, April 18, 7:30 pm, Chapel of St. Ignatius
Jim Brommers Bergquist (Campus Minister for Retreats) will offer reflections on how our favorite singers, writers, and artists can open us to the Divine. Lee Peterson (adjunct professor of music, composer, University choir accompanist) will lead us through a celebration of gospel and spiritual music.
You Can’t Take the Sky From Me
Sherman Alexie
Friday, April 20, 7:30 pm, Pigott Auditorium
Clipped this from Magis: Alumni Committed for Mission: In his talk You Can’t Take the Sky from Me, the award-winning author will reflect on how God is portrayed in film and how film can open the viewer to something more. Alexie's presentation will be followed by the film Serenity by Joss Whedon at 9:30 p.m. Admission is free for faculty, staff and students but, with a large crowd expected, tickets should be reserved now by e-mailing fofaf@seattleu.edu(a donation of $10 is suggested for the general public). The doors will open at 6:45 p.m. Sponsored by Seattle U. Campus Ministry, Ignatian Spirituality Center and Seattle U. Philosophy Department
Film: Serenity By Joss Whedon, 9:30 pm
Following his talk, Sherman Alexie presents one of his more recent favorite films. Themes of courage, family, love, and redemption (and many others) come to life in this science-fiction western adventure (from the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly).
