Faith, Film and Philosophy 2026 Seminar

You are invited to take part in an engaging interactive conversation on “Reconsidering the Cinematic Hero” with a group of 12-15 film scholars and fans over the weekend from Thursday evening, October 15, to Saturday evening, October 17, 2025 on the campus of Gonzaga University, in Spokane, WA. The Seminar employs a unique approach in which scholars read one another's work prior to the seminar and then discuss that work in a collegial setting over a weekend. Participants of the Seminar have in past years found the conversations that take place very helpful for polishing work in progress to move it closer to publication.

Individuals interested in participating in the seminar must submit a proposal of no longer than 500 words, in .doc, .docx, or .pdf format. Proposals should be submitted via email to the Director of the Faith & Reason Institute at [email protected] no later than midnight on Monday, August 17, 2026. For further information please contact David H Calhoun, Gonzaga University Faith & Reason Institute, at [email protected].
