20231127 - added film schedule
20231130 - minor additions and edits
20240201 - Thursday showings removed
This is an initial, "heads-up," announcement, and will undoubtedly be subject to change.
The Jesus Film Festival will be sponsored by Holy Family/Notre Dame for 2024. With grateful acknowledgement of funding made available from the Diocese of Victoria/Bishop’s Appeal, Holy Family/Notre Dame will be covering the cost of licencing, plus film snacks, as well as the lunch for the initial children's matinee. (Potluck additional contributions gratefully received.) There is no charge for attendance at any showing.
The current plan is to start with a children's matinee (preceded by lunch) on January 28th from 11:45 am to 3 pm; the film shown will be "The Miracle Maker," an animated, short, and fairly simple portrayal of Jesus' period of ministry. This film will be followed by eight sessions of movies, on Wednesday afternoon at 1 pm. (Thursday evening at 6 pm has been cancelled.)
See also https://albernioutreach.com/events and https://hfndpa.com/news/faith-through-film-festival for schedules and details.
(We would appreciate feedback on whether this schedule can be improved.)
Since Easter is early, this means we will have to forgo some of the movies. The movies to be shown will be "The Miracle Maker" on the 28th, with the regular schedule starting the following Wednesday (January 31) and Thursday (February 1), with parts two, three, and four of "Jesus of Nazareth," "Godspell," "The Greatest Story Ever Told" in two parts, and the movie "Jesus" in two parts to finish off. Each showing will be approximately an hour and a half to two hours, followed by discussion.
(There may be adjustments in the order of presentation, and feedback is solicited.)
(Descriptions of the movies can be found on last years posting of the screenings at https://fibrecookery.blogspot.com/2023/02/jesus-movie-screenings.html )
The churches of the Alberni Valley, as well as the larger community, are invited to attend, but Holy Family/Notre Dame would appreciate some advance warning of how many people may show up. It is hoped that the churches will, as best they can, help us advertise this festival to the broader community. (Ideas for promotion and publicity are solicited.) There is also interest in having participation from other churches in the form of back up and/or additional discussion leaders, small group prayer leaders, etc.
(Additional ideas for the festival can be found at https://fibrecookery.blogspot.com/2023/03/jesus-film-festival.html )
