400 - A Dangerous Movie in the Best Way Possible

The Symbolic World

I had the pleasure of speaking with filmmaker Josh David Jordan about his new movie El Tonto Por Cristo. It’s a black-and-white art film set in a Texas monastery — poetic, strange, and deeply moving. What struck me most is how the film weaves together powerful Orthodox imagery, the mystery of the holy fool, all with a totally unique visual language. This isn’t just a message movie — it’s real cinema. Check out the Kickstarter and be part of bringing this movie to theaters. This is a rare and important project.  El Tonto Por Cristo: A Cinematic Meditation. An Orthodox film set in a Texas monastery. Help bring this black-and-white story of beauty, holiness, & mystery to theaters worldwide. https://www.eltontoporcristo.com/ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/748841722/el-tonto-por-cristo-a-cinematic-meditation Original YouTube version: https://youtu.be/pbM5VN9YvCE 💻 Website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com 🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jonathanpageau  🔒 BECOME A PATRON: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe  Our website designers: https://www.resonancehq.io/  My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson: https://matthewwilkinson.net/
