Cinekklesia.com publishes reflections on film's intersections with faith, personal experience, and contemporary society, providing interested parties with a forum for talking about those movies that alternately amaze or distress, nourish or disgust them. Intelligent and illuminating, ongoing dialogue is our goal, not rigid consensus.

Contributors to the site are invited to consider movies of every genre, period, culture, and CARA rating. Contemporary blockbusters, foreign flicks, kid fare, Hollywood classics, horror, anime, documentaries, romantic comedies, and indie films are all fair game.

A Cinekklesia entry is as likely to read as a personal meditation as it is a formal movie review. While some of our writers enjoy analyzing a film's dialogue, its plot arc, or perhaps its digital and practical effects, many direct their attention to the various sociopolitical, philosophical, or theological implications of a given work.

Most essays will fall between 300-600 words, avoid plot summary, and move in organized fashion towards some kind of clearly articulated point. If interested in creating an entry of your own for Cinekklesia, please contact Paul Marchbanks at paul@cinekklesia.com for more details.
