Doświadczanie transcendencji – współczesne kino religijne
Experiencing Transcendence – Contemporary Religious Cinema

Summary/Abstract: In her article the author tries to capture the changes that are taking place in contemporary religious cinema. A number of artists are reviving this art form, but with a significant change in the accents – for example the emphasis on the body as a necessary medium of spirituality. In this manner personal experience becomes a dominating meta-category. Using this category and religiously oriented phenomenology of film, Stańczyk distinguishes three basic varieties of religious film: the contemplative cinema, epiphanic cinema and ecstatic cinema. These new formulas have been placed against the background of wider changes in the humanities associated primarily with the affective turn.
