Curated by SB Rodriguez Plate for APRIL

From 20-22 June, the The Varieties of Cinematic Experience film festival-symposium will bring together filmmakers, writers, religious leaders, educators, artists, and enthusiasts, raising questions about why we seek cinematic experiences, and how these experiences move beyond the screen and become embodied in communal and spiritual ways. Collectively, the group will creatively and critically examine how we receive cinematic works in community and how our environment affects the viewing experience.
