Movies & Meaning

Storytelling, Light, and Community • Making a Better World

This April 26-28, 2018, at the lovely Diana Wortham Theatre in Asheville, North Carolina, we will gather and hear from special guests Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Color Purple; Brian McLaren, author and theologian; and Gareth Higgins, film critic and Irish peace activist. We’ll screen seven movies, hear seven stories, and participate in seven activities proven to nurture community, restore hope, and build a bridge to the kind of world so many of us seek. We’ll do it in the setting of one of the most beautiful and creative small cities in the world, in a lovely theatre, surrounded by fantastic restaurants, places to stay, and the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains. We’ll make new friends, see astonishing big screen art, and pick up fuel for the journey of living more whole in uncertain times.

Inside Out (2015)

September 12, 2016 / Guest User

Inside Out displays astonishing imagination as we enter the human psyche to figure out how we think. There’s genius in a story about the five core emotions that allows them to have personalities, wisdom in how it makes honest work of the process of how people confront change, and a delightful bonus in the form of Bing-Bong, a character with all the lovableness of Balloo the Bear and a purpose with which Carl Jung would be pleased. There are no shortcuts to spiritual well-being, says Inside Out; it’s a film-as-therapy that’s as entertaining for kids as it is wise for adults (and vice-versa).
