Faith & Film presents Babette's Feast in honor of Sharon Gallagher - a film she loved

A mysterious French refugee transforms the lives of two devout sisters and their austere village when she spends her lottery winnings on an extravagant feast—an act of generosity that brings unexpected grace, healing, and joy to all who gather at the table.

Bring a friend to discuss this Oscar Winner for Best Foreign Film. See anew or revisit a classic, the favorite film of both Pope Francis and Phillip Yancey, a story where righteousness, sacrifice and bliss kiss. Sometimes, the greatest gift is the one you never expected. Discussion led by Sam Choi.

G, 1 hr 43 minutes, (1987), directed by Gabriel Axel

Free Admission. Co-sponsored by First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley and New College Berkeley.

About the Faith & Film series:
In this series we will examine the potent and relevant medium of film in exploring themes of love, faith, conscience, evil, death, reception, grace, morality, identity, and our yearning for the sacred. Each month we will view a different film––each unique, compelling, and demanding––reflecting our current times. Each film is curated by those who love this artistic medium and will host a conversation following our viewing. Co-sponsored by First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley and New College Berkeley.
