Thorneloe University and the Church of the Epiphany are teaming up to sponsor a Faith and Film.

Taking place throughout the Lenten season, the festival will showcase films that explore themes like sacrifice, violence and redemption.

“This is the second year Thorneloe University has hosted a Faith and Film Series to explore the presence and portrayal of religious themes in mainstream film,” a media release stated.

“Each film will be introduced by a faculty member at Thorneloe University and will be followed by discussion.”

Films playing include:

Feb. 27 – Waking Ned Devine
March 6 – Match Point
March 13 – A History of Violence
March 20 – Pan's Labyrinth
March 27 – Tideland

Each screening is free, and begins at 7 p.m. at the Fielding Memorial Chapel of St. Mark at Thorneloe University.
