LOCATION

 

As part of our ALA/NEH sponsored series Muslim Journeys we are pleased to host a screening of the documentary Dear Bawa Muhaiyaddeen by filmmakers Kythe Heller and Peter McMurray. 

Description: How can one film something that cannot be seen? Unlike

traditional documentaries, which typically view religious experience as a

metaphor for something else--whether socially or psychologically

construed--this experimental film explores religion on its own terms by

engaging the formal possibilities of filmmaking to consider the

contemporary Sri Lankan Sufi teacher M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen and the

trans-national and inter-religious community that has grown up around

him in the U.S. and Sri Lanka.

Following the screening, filmmaker Kythe Heller will lead a discussion. This program is free and all are welcome to attend.
