To make and promote this film opens me to the importance of this medium, not only as a support to discussions on religion and faith, but even more as a theological act; the process of creation can become a hermeneutic locus capable of inspiring both theologians and theological students in their way of conceiving and practicing theology. The film allowed me to consider in an original way the characteristics of a discourse on God that both feeds on a life in the Spirit and refers to it. In a society that values the visual dimension, filmmaking is a privileged partner to theologians. It enriches my reflections and increases their diffusion in the wider community, reaching a more diverse and numerous audience; since May 2017, I presented the film in several countries and cities, reaching more than 1300 people; the largest audience was in Strasbourg in June 2019 with 215 people, a screening organized by the diocese of Strasbourg as part of the annual interreligious meeting Rendez-vous with Religions. The film has also been presented and appreciated in several universities: Monash University (Australia), Australian Catholic University (Australia), University of Western Brittany (France), American Academy of Religion (Film Series, Boston), Saint Paul University, Institute Catholic of Paris (France), University of South Africa (South Africa), Banaras Hindu University (India). Filmmaking gives the theologian an aesthetic approach that allows him to reconnect his discourse with a spiritual and experiential dimension, to move from a purely rational theology to a contemplative theology which, if it is nonetheless discursive, is developed as such "in the light of a certain, already mystical, perception of the Absolute."
