PAFF Institute: Panels & Workshops
"Christianity on Trial in Film: Examining the Historical Credibility of Biblical Epics on the Big Screen."
10a-12p
A panel comprised of Christian apologists (intellectual defenders of the faith), biblical historians and Christian filmmakers will discuss the historical record behind Biblical epics such as "Noah," "Exodus" and the "Bible Miniseries" by examining the corresponding forensic, archeological and scientific evidence. Then, the audience will have an opportunity to put the credibility of the scriptures on trial through a Q&A session to determine for themselves whether these great epics are Fact, Fiction or Folklore.

Dr. David Talley (Chair Biblical & Theological Studies Old Testament Dept, Biola Univ.)

(Ethiopia/Narrative)
Immigration has been the topic of many recent news reports and headlines, including President Obama taking bold new steps to fix America's broken immigration system. Triangle-Going to America addresses this very issue.

The film's characters Kaleab and Jemal are willing to endure any danger to reach America and the promise of a better life. Along the way Kaleab meets Winta, an Eritrean beauty who is also making the journey. Together, they travel an arduous and illegal path wrought with danger, exploitation and death from East and North Africa through Italy, Mexico and finally to the United States.
Stars Solomon Bogale and Mahder Assefa, two of the most famous actors in Ethiopia, and Muluken Teshome, Samson Tadesse, and Selam Tesfayie. Stars Muluken Teshome, Solomon Bogale, Samson Tadesse, Selam Tesfayie, Mahder Aseefa.
