Texas Christian University has announced the lineup for their Reel Religion 5 film festival, with a range of selections for your viewing pleasure lined up for three times slots on Friday evening (Feb. 8, 7 p.m.), Saturday morning (Feb. 9, 9:30 a.m.) and Saturday afternoon (Feb. 9, 1:30 p.m.).
Films will screen, somewhat disorientingly, inside an actual church - namely, the University Christian Church at 2720 S. University Drive in Fort Worth. For those attending both sessions on Saturday, a lunch catered by Cousins Bar-B-Q will be available, but you'll want to make a reservation for that part of the proceedings if you're planning to partake.
Here's the lineup of films available for viewing; I was confused at first trying to figure out how they were going to cram in so many feature-length films in such a small time period (snippets only?) but a call to TCU's Office of Extended Education clarified that attendees are expected to choose one film from each lineup during the designated time period:
Friday, Feb. 8, 7 p.m.
The History Boys
Amazing Grace
Good Night, and Good Luck
Waitress
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Charlotte s Web
Saturday, Feb. 9, 9:30 a.m.
Paper Clips
Bruce Almighty
Street Fight
Husbands and Wives
Being John Malkovich
Pocahontas
12:30 p.m. Lunch (reservations required)
Saturday, Feb. 9, 1:30 p.m.
Freedom Writers
Dead Man Walking
The Lives of Others
The Painted Veil
Vanilla Sky
The Prince of Egypt
Following their movie-viewing, attendees will split into discussion groups to talk about the issues raised in the various films. Since this is all taking place in a church, I'm guessing the discussions will center on a Christian perspective.
It's free to attend the films and panel discussions associated with this rather oddly-structured event, but you'll want to RSVP ahead of time by visiting the Extended Ed website or calling 817-257-7132.
Oh - as we've been led to believe, there's no free lunch: the barbecue provided will set you back $8 for adults or $6.50 for kids under 12.
