Interested in talking film and theology? Try "Talk Film, Talk Faith" as part of the World Film Festival at Montreal, Canada, in August, 2009. Watch for details in the Christian Century magazine, and follow James Wall's reviews and discussions of Film from a theological perspective: http://www.christiancentury.org.

In August 2004, Michael Bausch was a member of the Ecumenical Jury in Montreal. The entire festival ran from late August-early September. See details at the official website: http://www.ffm-montreal.org/en_index.html.
