How Theology Becomes Film: A Conversation on Theology as Film with Robert Beckford, Peter Rollins and Mariecke van den Berg

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

Theology has always been a very text-based discipline. In recent years, however, theologians have discovered film, not only as an object of study, but also as a way of doing theology. In this session, Mariecke van den Berg talks with two film making theologians. Robert Beckford presented numerous documentaries for the BBC and Channel 4 and developed an approach to documentary making as exorcism: a means of casting out the ‘demons’ of colonial Christianity in black Pentecostalism. Peter Rollins is an author, storyteller and public theologian known for his orthodox heretic approach of theology, also called pyrotheology. Why do these two theologians prefer film over text? What makes film so suitable for doing theology? What exactly is theology and what makes a film theological? Of course, this session offers more than (spoken) word alone and screens work by both Robert Beckford and Peter Rollins.
