Freedom Encounter Adventure

"My life between cinema, mountains and interreligious dialogue"

Description

A backpacking trip. A fresco of life between encounters, art and dialogue. From childhood to the fortieth documentary, passing through his youth, his commitment to cinema and social affairs, the mountains and the family. A real travel story, a story of movement, of restlessness. Not a point of arrival, but a continuous present, a "river in flood" that always flows. A path that has given rise to projects such as the "Religion Today Film Festival" and "Women of Faith for Peace", where the gaze on dialogue helps to retrace "a story of adventures, travels, extraordinary encounters with women and men from all over the world and with the Christ of the Road".

On the paths of Hope

"Joseph and Miriam yesterday and today"

Description

In this text, a reflection is proposed on Joseph, Mary and Jesus in their daily life, according to the Gospel, but interweaving it with today's daily life. Following the steps of the Holy Family, three parts are outlined which include: the meeting between Joseph and Mary, the meeting between Mary and Elizabeth, the journey to Bethlehem and the birth of Jesus, the return from Egypt and life in Galilee until at the baptism in the Jordan. Paths of hope are identified in each part: in fact, the testimony of a topical event is inserted into the commentary on the Gospel story.

Women of Resurrection

"On the roads of the world"

Description

The protagonists are some women met by the author in Italy on trips to the Holy Land and Africa (Ethiopia, Mozambique) to shoot documentaries and who have marked her life. Filo rosso is the exemplary figure of Mary Magdalene, who passed from the abyss of death to the fullness of life, until she was the first to receive the announcement of the resurrection. 8 chapters mark the itinerary of conversion: liberation from the chains of sin; listening to the Word in Martha's house; the entrustment to Christ in front of the tomb of Lazarus; the anointing in Bethany and the madness of love; suffering redeemed at the foot of the Cross; the stone of the sepulcher and the apparent silence of God; the joy of conversion before the Risen One; the mandate of testimony.

Backwards into the light

"Cinema and life on the route of the Magi"

Description

The experience of a journey. In 1997, in the company of the Bible, some pages of Saint Augustine and a notebook, Lia Beltrami set off on a journey "backwards" on the path of the Magi, from Bethlehem to Jerusalem to Persia (Iran), to meet directors and actors of faith and bring them a message: building bridges of dialogue between different religions through cinema and art. Thus was born the "Religion Today International Festival of Cinema and Religion" which has been taking place in Trento for the past eight years, attracting growing interest from the public and critics. Each chapter of the book is introduced by an evangelical passage of the journey of the Magi from which the author takes the cue to retrace, in a geographical pilgrimage and of the soul, the itinerary of a true encounter with each other.
