Cinematic techniques are incorporated into the design of the course as they pertain to the theological and existential purposes of the director.

Among the films selected for the course are the following: The Piano, Life Is Beautiful, A Midnight Clear, Babette’s Feast, Contact, La Strada, Awakenings, Dead Poets’ Society, The Apostle or Sling Blade, Cinema Paradiso, The Sacrifice, etc
