Film discussion resources
As part of our regular series of meetings, Drew Trotter from the Christian Study Center in Charlottesville (http://www.studycenter.net) addressed the James Madison Christian Faculty Fellowship about the need to understand our culture through its films. Drew challenged the group to watch contemporary films seriously, with a view toward motivating discussion of life’s great questions with students and others around us.
Drew has considerable experience in hosting “Movie Nights.” On each of these nights, Christian students and other guests watch a contemporary film, then engage in discussion of the film’s themes and meaning. Drew left some resources that can be used for anyone seeking to motivate discussion of contemporary films. Here they are, for nonprofit use with proper credit to Drew Trotter, Ph.D., President of the Center for Christian Study in Charlottesville:
