Mina Djukic's The Disobedient to be screened at Sundance

LOS ANGELES - The Dispobedient, a film by Serbian director and screenwriter Mina Djukic, will be screened at Sundance Film Festival in the US state of Utah, which started on Thursday and will last until January 27.

The film is about two people growing up in Serbia's northern province of Vojvodina and it is the only film from Serbia and the region at this year's festival.

The Disobedient focuses on a drama that promotes courage to wander and explore outside the framework imposed by the society or any other authority. It is a tale of the right to love, freedom, beauty and life, Djukic explained.

Srdjan Golubovic's Circles had its world premiere at last year's festival and won a special award from the jury.

Sundance is the biggest festival of independent film in the US. It was established in 1984 by Hollywood actor and director Robert Redford.

This year's festival will include 187 films, with 67 of them competing in four categories. The winners will be announced on January 26.

The One and the Many

Studies of God, Man, the Church, and the World today

by Metropolitan John D. Zizioulas

This volume offers a collection of Zizioulas articles which have appeared mostly in English, and which present his trinianatarian doctrine of God, as well as his theological account of the Church as the place in which freedom and communion are actualized. The title, The One and the Many, suggests the idea of a profound relationship that exists between the Persons in the Holy Trinity, between Christ and the Church, between one Catholic Church and many catholic Churches. On each of these levels of communion, each one is called to receive from one another and indeed to receive one another. And while this is understandable at the Triadological and Christological levels, it raises all sorts of fundamental ecclesiological questions, since the highest point of unity in this context is both the mutual ecclesial-eucharistic recognition and agreement on doctrine and canonical-eccelesiological organization.
