Lourdes A Story of Faith, Science and Miracles ernard Guillaumet, a non-Christian French Bjournalist, is assigned the job of doing a story on Lourdes in the late 1990s. Just before he leaves for Lourdes, Bernard learns that his wife is preg- nant. However, he is not told that this pregnancy could put her life at risk—and that doctors are suggesting an abortion. While researching for his report on Lourdes, Bernard comes across the pages of an old family manuscript. The manuscript was written by his ancestor, Henri Guillaumet, a positivist scientist and non- believer who met Bernadette at Lourdes in 1858, a meeting which profoundly affected Henri and forced him to reconsider the miracles performed following the apparitions of the Madonna of Lourdes. One of the most important miracles Giullaumet had to reconsider was the healing of his wife Claire, who had been on her death bed as a result of tuberculosis, and was completely restored by the miraculous waters of the grotto in which Bernadette saw the Our Lady. This intriguing film uses the pages of the manuscript to trace the stories of three lives— Bernadette, Henry and Bernard, three characters whose lives intertwine as they pursue parallel journeys according to the designs of Providence. Directed by Lodovico Gasparini (St. John Bosco, ), stars Alessandro Gassman, Angele Osinski, and Sydne , and written by Vittorio Messori (The Ratzinger Report).

Bakhita From Slave to n 1948 Aurora Marin arrives with her family at Ithe convent of the Canossian Sisters of Schio, , where Sister Bakhita has just died. Aurora was hoping to see her before she died. She gath- ers her children around the picture of Bakhita and tells them of the incredible life of the woman that had raised her as her nanny. Born in a village in Sudan, kidnapped by sla- vers, often beaten and abused, and later sold to Federico Marin, a Venetian merchant, Bakhita then came to Italy and became the nanny servant of Federico’s daughter, Aurora, who had lost her mother at birth. She is treated as an outcast by the peasants and the other servants due to her black skin and African background, but Bakhita is kind and generous to others. Bakhita - ly comes closer to God with the help of the kind village priest, and embraces the Catholic faith. She requests to join the order of Canossian sisters, but Marin doesn’t want to give her up as his servant, treating her almost as his property. This leads to a moving court case that raised an uproar which impacts Bakhita’s freedom and ultimate decision to become a nun. Pope John Paul II declared her a saint in the year 2000.

No Greater Love A Unique Portrait of the Carmelite Nuns fter ten years of correspondence, filmmaker AMichael Whyte was given unprecedented access to the monastery of the Most Holy Trinity, in London’s notting Hill. The monastery, found- ed in 1878, is home to the nuns of the Discalced Order of Carmelites, who lead a cloistered life dedicated to prayer, work and contemplation, rarely leaving the monastery except to visit a doctor or dentist. Silence is maintained through- out the day with the exception of two periods of recreation. A highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning documentary, No Greater Love follows in the wake of the great success of a similar film, Into Great Silence, as it gives a unique insight into this closed world of these nuns where the modern world’s materialism is rejected; they have no television, radio or newspapers. The film inter- weaves a year in the life of the monastery with the daily rhythms of Divine Office and work. Centered on Holy Week, it follows a year in which a novice is professed and one of the older nuns dies. Though mainly a meditational film, there are several interviews with the nuns, which offer insights into their lives, faith, moments of doubt and their belief in the power of prayer in SPECIAL FEATURES the heart of the community.

The Nun The Story of a Carmelite Vocation his is an award-winning documentary that tells the beautiful story Tof Marta, a young Catholic woman in Sweden and her counter- cultural choice to follow a calling to become a cloistered Carmelite nun, and to live her life for God alone. Documentary filmmaker Maud nycander followed Marta and her family for ten years to tell the story of her vocation, and the Carmelite convent made a unique exception to its strict regulations by allowing the filmmaker to meet with and interview Marta both before and after her five-year postulant period. The Carmelite convent in Glumslöv in the south of Sweden is normally closed to outsiders. Marta comes from a large Catholic family, one of nine children, a close-knit family who live on a farm in Sweden. Marta lived a very happy family life, and had an active social life with many friends in school, but yet felt the call to leave all that for the challenging life of a cloistered contemplative Carmelite nun. This film explores that deci- sion that is seen as a radical one in the eyes of the world, and follows Marta and her family during that period of her life before and after her becoming a Carmelite. Marta gives her own insights into why she made this challenging decision to give up the possibility of marriage and family for the life of a cloistered nun, and we get a good glimpse into that hidden life the Carmelites live. We also meet Marta’s family in the documentary: her supportive father and her mother, first pleased with Marta’s choice but later struck by a great, unexpected sadness. Helena, her closest sister, who has also considered joining a convent. Big brother , a doubter who lives a Bohemian life in Paris. And little brother emanuel, to whom Marta was practically a mother. emanuel tried to stop her from joining the convent and still wishes she would come home. He comforts himself with the faith that they’ll meet again in Heaven. j NUN-M . . . Swedish with English subtitles, 60 min., $19.95

The Holy Face The Face of Christ in the Cloth of Manoppello n intriguing documentary film about the discovery of the Aamazing relic of the Holy Face on a cloth revered in a Church in Manoppello, Italy. Paul Badde, author of the international best- selling book on the Veil of Manoppello, The Face of God, is a featured spokesman in this film that takes us to the Church in Italy to see this amazing cloth up close, and to learn the mysterious history that surrounds it. Based on the in-depth research Badde did for his book, this film reveals that experts have determined that the cloth of Manoppello is not Veronica’s veil, as some thought, but rather the face cloth laid over the face of Jesus in the tomb. Unlike the Shroud of Turin, which is a “negative” of the image, the image on the face cloth is a “positive” of the face of Christ. The fabric of this cloth is so thin and delicate that it is impossible to paint on—yet the image in Manoppello is clearly visible and, moreover, when laid over the image of the face on the Shroud of Turin forms a perfect match. enjoy the thrilling journey of discovery as this film researches this remarkable relic, tracing the turbulent history of the Holy Face from ancient times up to the historic 2006 visit to Manoppello by Pope Benedict XVI. j HFA-M . . . 24 min., $14.95

For many cen- turies, scholars from many disciplines have investigated the authenticity of the walls venerated in Loreto. According to legend and tradition, the house was carried by Angels in the year 1291, first to a town in Croatia and then three years later carried again across the Adriatic Sea to Loreto. This is known as the Miracle of the Translation. Modern academics have theorized that it was moved by Christian soldiers fleeing the Holy Land near the end of the Crusades. The entire journey of the Holy House was re-created for this docu- mentary film, with the help of state-of-the-art 3D computer-generated graph- ics. The Holy House does not rest upon typical structural foundations, and its presence in Loreto remains a real enigma for contemporary architects. Is this sacred structure really the same House of Mary, transported all the way from nazareth?

Though each episode is inspired by one of the Ten Commandments, these are not simple morality tales. Disturbing scenes of disordered behavior, as well as moving glimpses of human goodness, force the viewer to ponder the many ways in which man both breaks and keeps the laws of God. each episode is self-contained: from Decalogue I (“I Am the Lord Thy God”), the touching and tragic story of a boy who starts asking his rationalist father and religious aunt the hard questions of life, to Decalogue X (“Thou Shalt not Covet Thy neighbor’s Goods”), a comic tale of estranged brothers who bond through a winding ordeal involving their father’s priceless stamp collection. The Decalogue is nothing less than a portrait of the human soul. Not rated by the MPAA, the USCCB classification is A-III—adults. Not recom- mended for sensitive viewers or those under the age of 17.
