The season of dates runs from 21 February - 25 April 2010
The films will take place at Chichester Cinema at New Park on Sundays.
In partnership with the cinema we are delighted to support another season of films exploring aspects of faith, conscience and enlightenment within different religions or cultures. The selected titles offer a wide range of films both old and new, from various countries including Tibet, Russia, France, Sweden, Israel, and the UK. It is hoped that each film will have a brief introduction by the Chancellor Canon Dr Anthony Cane, or one of his colleagues.
