Despite every kind of opposition, campus pro-life groups continue to grow
June 24, 2020
“Students are fed up with the status quo and the rhyming chants and are looking for real, concrete answers,” says Madeline Page. “They can’t find them amongst the pro-choice mantras but once they dive into the pro-life arguments, the truth is hard to ignore.” Page is CEO of the Alliance for Pro Life Students (APS),
‘It’s my response to consumerism’: A filmmaker’s fascination with Trappists
February 27, 2020
Outside the City is a documentary film about the life of Mount St Bernard Abbey, Leicestershire, as the community moves from dairy farming to brewing Britain’s first Trappist beer, Tynt Meadow. Authentic Trappist beer – that is, beer made by Trappist monks in their monastery  – is brewed in only 14 abbeys in the world:
The film Hollywood doesn’t want you to see
November 01, 2018
The name “Gosnell” continues to disturb the American psyche. When the nation’s most prolific serial killer appeared before a court, there was a virtual news blackout. When a book was published about Gosnell’s offences, the bestseller lists tried to hide how well the book was selling. And now, after a film has been made about
Film: An elusive figure in the line of fire
October 18, 2018
Under the Wire is a documentary about the war correspondent Marie Colvin. It is also, just as much, a film about her photographer colleague Paul Conroy. Having worked on many assignments together, they travelled to Syria in February 2012. The country was closed to the outside world and caught up, as it is now, in
Film: Did John Paul’s words help end the Troubles?
October 04, 2018
The contention of the documentary John Paul II in Ireland: A Plea for Peace, written and directed by Emmy Award winner David Naglieri, is that the speech made by Pope John Paul II during his 1979 visit to Ireland changed the course of history. At the time of the pope’s visit to Ireland the Troubles
Film: Secular sermonising gets Francis all wrong
August 09, 2018
Did you know that Pope Francis is the head of a global humanitarian organisation dedicated principally to saving “Mother Earth”? This is the impression given by the documentary Pope Francis: A Man of His Word (★, PG, 96 minutes), produced, co-written and directed by Wim Wenders, and released this week. The film starts with a
Who is England’s next saint?
August 02, 2018
Nuns, priests, a journalist and a certain cardinal are all in the running for canonisation
Who’s next?
August 02, 2018
Recent media coverage of GK Chesterton’s possible canonisation morphed into speculation as to when he would be made a saint. Misunderstanding the canonical process, many secular media sources saw a possible beginning as a confirmed ending. Far from declaring anything, the Church is merely exploring the possibility of the writer’s holiness. GK Chesterton was a
Film: The dark obsession at the heart of Vertigo
July 12, 2018
Since 2012, when it knocked Citizen Kane from the top spot, Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo has been deemed “the greatest film of all time” in Sight & Sound’s authoritative poll of international film critics. From this weekend, British cinemagoers will have a chance to view the 1958 movie in a newly restored version. The London-born, Jesuit-educated
Arts essay: A quiet revolution in Catholic arts
March 08, 2018
A woman stared at me before telling, in graphic detail, of the trauma and despair of sex trafficking. Then a voice quietly said: “Let’s try that again.” The voice belonged to Martin O’Brien, the author and director of a new one-woman show called Grace due to run in schools and beyond in the coming months.
A peace that conceals a division of spoils
November 23, 2017
It is an understatement to say that Northern Ireland’s woes have posed a challenge to film-makers. The most recent period of violent unrest, the Troubles, persisted over three decades. It was an increasingly squalid, often invisible war fought out between combatants who had become equally morally compromised. The barbaric terrorism of those wishing to overthrow
Hollywood reels
October 26, 2017
Hollywood is dying. And that’s good news for Christians – but not for the reason you might think. Back in January, before the Harvey Weinstein scandal, Vanity Fair ran an article entitled “Why Hollywood as we know it is already over”, by Nick Bilton. The picture Bilton painted of today’s dying Hollywood was a dire
