Cinema Divina is media artist and writer M Freeman’s integration of creative, contemplative, and social art practices. Their Cinema Divina films–made through rigorous contemplative practice created specifically for contemplative screenings–are M’s ongoing series of short, genre-fluid media art pieces (poetic, autobiographic, essayistic). M re-imagines the ancient ritual of sacred reading or lectio divina in today’s audiovisual vernacular as Cinema Divina—a contemplative screening process designed to increase access to one’s deeper wisdom, healing, and peace. For permission to use any of M’s films in retreats, classes, services or any purpose other than individual, private, contemplative practice, please contact M through this site here.
