Faith and Film Moving to Film Alley

After three seasons in 2024 and 2025,  Faith and Film is moving to Film Alley, formerly known as City LIghts, 420 Wolf Ranch Parkway, 
Georgetown, TX 78628.Faith and Film Dive In theater logo

Film Alley is not a drive in theater, but this series makes it a dive-in theater, as participants will explore underlying morals and religious worldviews often disguised in great films. These classes equip Viewer-Critics to recognize and respond to the competing ideologies promoted within popular culture. 

Another change is the series is becoming a monthly series instead of weekly. The 2024 spring series will be scheduled for: February 2, March 2, April 6, and May 4. Tenantively, a Fall series will be scheduled September 7, October 5, November 2, and December 7. Check back in January 2025 for registration in formation and for a list of films and respondents..

LENSES Informal Class for Community Learners

 

Parabolic Media is pleased to announce the return of Lenses, the popular Informal Classes for the Community starting Monday, September 9th.  6:30 PM at The Moviehouse & Eatery. For the Fall 2019 LENSES Series, there is no registration fee. Simply purchase your ticket at the box office or online on the Moviehouse & Eatery website. The series runs Sept. 9 through Nov. 18 (excluding Veterans Day on Nov. 11).

New for the Fall 2019 season, participants will be viewing CURRENT films being offered by The Moviehouse & Eatery. Due to fluctuations in distribution, the movie, start time, and theater number will be announced no earlier than one week prior to each class. Watch our web page for updates. Note that the opinions expressed in LENSES do not necessarily reflect the position of The Moviehouse’s owners, managers, or employees.

Participants will explore and practice ten valuable lenses that can make them fluent in their media consumption—better at making sense of the messages and meanings behind their favorite movies. Improve your media literacy—become fluent in reading popular film.

The Lenses series is parallel to the Cinema and Religion series offered at The Moviehouse each spring. Focusing on film, the two classes provide examinations of this compelling media form in the context of an actual movie theater with an audience—the most pure and powerful viewing environment.
