February 19, 2023 Short Films

Did Fr. Dominic pique your interest in the short films he preached about on Sunday?

When I Get Grown >> starts with a terrific 2-minute animation sequence and provides visual accompaniment to an engaging interview with civil rights activist and Freedom Rider Bernard Lafayette. It’s available for free through February.

The Steel Shutter >> was made fifty years ago by our recently deceased brother Pat Rice with Carl Rogers. They brought Protestants and Catholics from Northern Ireland together during the peak of their conflict. Halfway through, Pat asks a question that leads to the jaw-dropping confession that gives the film its title. (Also, you’ll see Pat in 1970s glorious full-bearded mode.) Watch it for free on YouTube.
