FILM & LITERATURE Filmic ChristMany have attempted to present the life of Christ through cinema since the advent of the medium. Even those who have attempted to stay true to the Gospel accounts must insert some additional elements and interpreted events as they adapt the New Testament accounts into a visual...and later sound enriched medium. Even the selection of actors to represent Christ plays into the interpretation and presentation of the Gospel accounts. In a way these films stand as Gospels themselves; and they say a lot about the filmakers and society at the time these films were released and man's need for a savior.ScreeningsIl Vangelo secondo Matteo (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1964) Jesus of Nazareth (Franco Zeffirelli, 1977) Monty Python's Life of Brian (Terry Jones, 1979) The Last Temptation of Christ (Martin Scorsese, 1988) Jesus of Montreal (Denys Arcand, 1989) Je vous salue, Marie/Hail Mary (Jean Luc Goddard, 1985) Matthew (Visual Bible, Regardt van den Bergh, 1996) The Miracle Maker (Derek W.
