Leaps of Faith

#SFFLeapsOfFaith
Friday, February 1, 2:00 p.m.–3:30 p.m.
Filmmaker Lodge, 550 Main St. (2nd floor)

From snake-wielding Appalachian Pentecostals and real-life revolutionary Satanists to a Catholic near-future in Brazil, this year’s Festival is filled with fiction and nonfiction films inhabiting religious worlds as a basis for telling the stories of our times. Join critic and journalist Alissa Wilkinson, directors Brittany Poulton and Dan Madison Savage (Them That Follow), director Paul Harrill (Light From Light), and Jex Blackmore (featured in the documentary Hail Satan?) to explore why so many artists are taking these narrative leaps of faith and what they tell us about religion and cinema culture.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
