TRS 163 - Theology & Religion in/and/of Film Upper division
Prerequisites PHIL 120 OR TRS 097 OR TRS 189 .
The medium of film, although little more than a century old, outpaces virtually all other artistic and communicative media in its powers to mold our beliefs, desires, fears, and even our identities in accordance with its images and narratives-sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. This course investigates the relationship of theology, religion, and film in three broad ways: First, we find theology & religion presented “in” films. Second, theology & religion “and” film examines the relation between what gets presented on screen and the way it interacts with our lived experiences. Finally, the theology & religion “of” film asks in what sense film is itself theological?
