The Sheen Center for Thought & Culture in association with Docs/ology Films, the presenting partner of the “8beats” anthology — a series of 8 shorts by Catholic filmmakers inspired by the Beatitudes — will host a roundtable on Wednesday, March 3 featuring filmmakers and talent, moderated by David DiCerto, Interim Executive Director of The Sheen Center. They will discuss the concept behind the series and the unconventional yet timely treatment of the Beatitudes in these films which focus on humanity’s brokenness and the less-traveled roads to redemption.

For four consecutive Fridays, beginning on March 5, The Sheen Center will screen select films featured in the 8beats anthology. Trailers for each of the films are available below. Please note the films in the anthology explore mature themes that are not appropriate for children or young teens.

8beats Roundtable March 10 at 3pm moderated by David DiCerto on YouTube.com/SheenTalks and Facebook @SheenCenter.

Roundtable guests will include:

Samuel Sorich — Executive Producer of “8beats” and a contributing filmmaker

Natalie Cordray — Claire McKenna, Producer

Sean Schiavdlin — 2AM Lullaby, Director

Deniz Demir — Simon’s Agony, Director (former Sheen Center resident artist)
