An interview with Johan Roeland, sociologist of religious culture and media, and Ruard Ganzevoort, professor of practical theology about research on film and religion. They talk about the meaning of popular culture for this course. Has cinema taken over the role of the church to provide religious frames? According to reception studies, movies can be an inspiration source, can be used by young people to develop their own religious repertoire and can provoke temporarily a religious experience.
It is no longer the church where people are taught in religion. Religion becomes more individual, experimental and playful. Movies can challenge or even change our whole theological framework.
