Holy Week Film Club
Join us for an unforgettable Holy Week Film Club experience at the Belfast Jesuit Centre.
Embark on a cinematic journey of faith, reflection and spirituality this Holy Week with our carefully curated film selection. Our theme is Freedom in Christ.
How it works:
In preparation for the Holy Week discussions which will take place via Zoom on Monday 25th, Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th March at 7pm, we will show the films here in the BJC on three Fridays: 8th, 15th and 22nd March at 7pm. There will be popcorn!
Alternatively, you can watch the films in the comfort of your own home and join us on Zoom during Holy Week to discuss them. We will be led by Fr Jake Martin SJ, who holds a PhD in Film Studies from Trinity College Dublin.
