A podcast on cinema, theology, and the recovery of the Catholic imagination. Hosted by founder Ryan C. McCarty. A joint venture of Beatific Vision and the Catholic Film Institute.
An opening word. Founder Ryan McCarty welcomes listeners to Catholica Cinematica — a podcast on cinema, theology, and the recovery of the Catholic imagination — and sets the table for the work ahead.
A founding address. Founder Ryan McCarty makes the case that cinema, having been surrendered to the indifferent, can be reclaimed — and lays out the architecture of the wider house: Beatific Vision, the Catholic Film Institute, and the apostolates that will follow.
A philosophical inquiry into the relationship between beauty and truth in the cinematic arts — and what is owed by the maker who professes both.
A conversation with the makers of the new Catholic cinema — Reclaim Films, Triumph of the Heart, Zero A.D., and others — on what is being built and why.
