Dr. Todd Wold from Asbury University will be visiting Crown next week to give a talk on the films of Robert Bresson and Terrence Malick.
Still from "Diary of a Country Priest" (1951), directed by Robert Bresson

Dr. Wold will discuss how each filmmaker approaches the depiction of transcendence, share relevant film clips, and make space for questions from the audience. Students interested in the intersection of film and theology should make plans to attend!

Beyond his work in film studies, Dr. Wold researches how social media, crowdfunding platforms, and online church practices shape the way we communicate.

“Divergent Paths to Transcendent Cinema: Robert Bresson and Terrence Malick” will take place on Friday, October 17, at 3:30 p.m. in the North Wing of the library.
