Course Content (Syllabus)
A dialogue of Orthodox theology with the art of cinema. In this case the focus is on ontology and much less on "technology". Cinema functions as a "language" as the center of gravity of an expanded interdisciplinarity, allowing for awareness and much more understanding of the story. And this is the history, this civilization, which is the womb in which the Logos has been enriched, and the word of Christian theology has developed. In this year's traditions, the discussion focuses on the multifaceted theme of sacredness and the love of the body, with the aim of highlighting the functional ambiguities of sacred love and erotic sanctity of the "ενούσιον" person, the loving person, in the context of Orthodox anthropology. Certainties, data and self-evidently are in question. An attempt to understand begins from the beginning in order for, through the virtual and textual palpation of forgotten trails of a broad tradition, and of its dialogue with the precious of a world in constant evolution, to reveal the way in which the continuous ideological embankments hid from the field of vision of immediacy.
