“The Catholic Iconography and vocational struggle inherent in the Spiderman films rank them among the most prominent spiritual films of our time.”  So claimed Lentfest Director, Stephen Callaghan in a newspaper article which last year reviewed Sam Raimi’s Spiderman Trilogy.

Following the success of past film and faith events (Passion of the Christ [2007]; Man Dancin’ [2008]; and Karol [2008]), this year, Lentfest is offering the chance to take part in a brand new film event which invites you to consider how faith can offer a unique enriching perspective when engaging with Hollywood cinema.

The programme will feature a special screening of Spiderman (2002), the first instalment in the trilogy in Gilmorehill’s beautiful plush cinema in the heart of the University of Glasgow followed by a seminar lead by Lentfest director and graduate of the Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies, Stephen Callaghan, which will offer an analysis of the film from a Christian perspective and draw upon examples from the other two films in the Spiderman Trilogy.  Full Details..

The film will last approximately 2 hours and will be followed by a short break before the seminar.
