Cinema e Dialéctica: Apresentação em Coimbra (registo)
27.11.2024
A apresentação do meu livro Cinema e Dialéctica: Uma Gramática Profunda decorreu ontem no Teatro da Cerca de S. Bernardo, com a presença de estudantes, em especial da Licenciatura, do Mestrado, e do Doutoramento em Estudos Artísticos, e de colegas da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra. Agradeço profundamente ao meu colega Osvaldo Silvestre as leituras atentas que propôs e as questões pertinentes que trouxe para alimentar a nossa conversa. Foi um serão digno de ficar na memória.

Exploring Film and Christianity
07.11.2024
Out on November 29! Here’s the description:
This book examines the connections between film and Christianity, considering how films express and depict Christian faith and spirituality and provide experiences associated with it. The notion of movement as immobility (from Simone Weil) is employed to describe film and its images in motion. Its movements can reconnect us with the movements of the world, those motions in which a mysterious sense of order, what Weil calls "immobility," arises. Film is understood as a privileged form to access inscrutable spiritual (in)visibilities that can be linked with Christian concepts and practices. The chapters in Exploring Film and Christianity offer new studies of famous directors such as Andrei Tarkovsky and Robert Bresson combined with analyses of recent notable films, including Terrence Malick’s Knight of Cups, Martin Scorsese’s Silence, and Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049. Organized around the productive topics of theory, expression, depiction and experience, this volume is a valuable contribution to interdisciplinary research on film and Christianity.More information here.
