false 663361 1 In the style of a cinematic travel journal, film columnist and critic Jeffrey Overstreet of Christianity Today and lookingcloser.org leads readers down paths less traveled to explore some of the best films you ve never seen. Examining a feast of movies, from blockbusters to buried treasure, Overstreet peels back the layers of work by popular entertainers and under-appreciated masters. He shares excerpts from conversations with filmmakers like Peter Jackson, Wim Wenders, Kevin Smith, Scott Derrickson, producer Ralph Winter, and stars like Elijah Wood, Ian McKellan, Keanu Reeves and the cast of Serenity, drawing war-stories from his encounters with movie stars, moviemakers, moviegoers and other critics in both mainstream and religious circles. He argues that what makes some films timeless rather than merely popular has everything to do with the way these artists whether they know it or not have captured reflections of God in their work. Through a Screen Darkly also includes a collection of reviews, humorous anecdotes and on-the-scene film festival reports, as well as recommendations for movie discussion groups and meditations on how different films echo the myriad ways in which Christ captured the attention and imagination of culture. 649427 5 2 2007 Through a Screen Darkly total:41|5:8|4:23|3:8|2:2| 41 160 79 10 4 1 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 16 14:42:54 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 18 12:04:37 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 28 10:09:44 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 18 15:43:40 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Jul 01 21:11:41 -0700 2007 Sun Jul 01 21:13:28 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 09:06:14 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 15:30:39 -0700 2009
