We are honored to act as curators for ECVA’s first ever short-film exhibition. This show follows on our spring class ECVA Conversations: Photography and Smartphone Short-film. Participants bravely learned new software and experimented with editing techniques to present their view of faith through color, sound, still shots, and motion. The medium of video helped participants to tell a more complete story. The class was extended into the summer through the guidance of Mel Ahlborn so participants could continue to expand their learning and continue to find new ways to let the art of image-making present their faith stories.
The films selected present a wide range of approaches to faith in motion. Marilyn Green’s Humankind features The Sacred Dance Guild of Trinity Wall Street portraying the pathos that links the experience of people in countries around the globe. Julie Bender’s Beach Walk takes a more personal approach to faith and utilizes nature sounds and music, and lovely stills mixed with the movement of water and wind. In a sweet touch, her whole family was involved in adding music, modeling, and photography.
Mel Ahlborn’s Lorica highlights her individual devotional practice and a dynamic movement of image and voiceover. Nancy Carow’s Faith in Motion showcases a beautiful presentation of the symbols, sacred gestures, and words of corporate worship. Alissa Clark’s thoughtful This is God explores the search for God that faces people of faith when their practices fail and is a reminder of all the places God may be found.
