SUMMARY:Monastic Silence and a Visual Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:A book talk and screening of documentary film-in-progress with Abbie Reese\ncosponsored by the Department of Cinema and Media Studies and Calvert House \n\nAbbie Reese will share the process entailed in a long-term oral history and visual arts project that is the basis for her recent book\, Dedicated to God: An Oral History of Cloistered Nuns (Oxford University Press\, 2014) and her documentary film in-progress\, Chosen (Custody of the Eyes). \nSet within the insular realm of the Corpus Christi Monastery\, Chosen (Custody of the Eyes) is a collaborative ethnographic and documentary film in-progress that emerges from research starting in 2005 and an ongoing relationship with members of the Poor Clare Colettine nuns.Chosen will form a filmic portrait of a young woman in the liminal phase\, evolving from “Heather” (a blogger\, painter\, and graphic design student) to a new identity within a cloistered order. Now renamed\, “Sister Amata” is in the process of becoming; she is assimilating into the community and the enclosure\, a 25\,000-square foot monastery on fourteen-acre gated premises. \nOne of the strictest religious orders in existence\, Poor Clare Colettine nuns follow an 800-year-old religious rule. Family members of the nuns are allowed up to four visits each year; they are always separated by the metal grille. This strict separation from the outside world serves a purpose: As cloistered contemplatives\, the nuns intervene on behalf of humanity\, observing the Liturgy of the Hours seven times a day and awaking at midnight to pray while the world sleeps. The nuns strive to become saints and “mothers of souls.” The enclosure –– rather than restricting them –– offers freedom; the metal grille keeps the world out. \nAbbie will play audio clips from the oral history interviews\, shows still photographs she made within the enclosure\, and shares clips from the film-in-progress. For more information on the film-in-progress\, visit this website. \nYou can read a write up on her book in the New Yorker HERE.
