FILM AND PANEL EVENT
A film by Vic Compher and Rodney Whittenberg
While 鈥淎ngels and Saints鈥擡ros and Awe鈥 may seem to be a film about gender identity and sexuality鈥攁nd it is鈥攊t is also about psychological, emotional, and spiritual wholeness. It is a film about people whom we call our 鈥淎ngels and Saints鈥 or our 鈥渕odern messengers鈥, who have found a path to being their whole selves in body, mind, and spirit.
Angels and Saints鈥擡ros and Awe addresses the psychic pain and damage that institutional religions and American culture in general have inflicted by teaching that 鈥渢he Spirit is good鈥 but the 鈥渂ody is evil鈥. Whether identifying as heterosexual, nonbinary, gay, lesbian, trans or 鈥淥therWise鈥, our modern messengers share with us their creative, grounded lives, their wisdom and their many ways of healing this brokenness, as well as how they have moved beyond the constraining, stereotypic 鈥渂oxes鈥 in which society has placed most people. A recurring theme in this process of integration and wholeness is the restorative role of the arts, including dance, music, poetry and a love of nature鈥攁ll of which find a richly expressive place in the film.
