Summary/Abstract: My concern to order the so contemporary, evenfashionable media field through the multimilenary grid of sacredness, especially through the broad vision of Orthodox spirituality and beyond, may seem strange. It's just an appearance, because I'm personally interested in the force of impact of the television on the public, which, unbound by commercial burdens, can become a living instrument capable of delivering spiritual messages to a large number of people, beyond age, training, concerns and beliefs. But until this noble vocation is reached (with a television still dominated by eclectic, vulgarity, violence, and often pornography, aesthetically in debt to silver-bearing rattings), we should first define the possibilities that can arise from an aesthetics of the genre insiped by the sacred.
