Faith and Film: Instruments of a Beating Heart

Sunday, July 27
10 a.m. Crail C

"Instruments of a Beating Heart," a 2025 Oscar-nominated documentary, follows Ayame, a schoolgirl eager to participate in a group performance of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" to welcome new first graders. Encouraged by the teacher to think beyond herself, Ayame wins the cymbal role in the audition. However, a lack of dedication to her task leads to mistakes during rehearsals, prompting the teacher to emphasize the importance of harmony and diligence. We will view this short film in its entirety and identify themes that intersect with a life of faith. 


Throughout the summer, watch and discuss Oscar-nominated and award-winning short films. No registration is required for this on-site offering.
