Spiritual Cinema Circle Volume 12, Dec. 2009 Films
By Chris Cade on Nov 20, 2009 in Spiritual Movies
Traditionally, movies make it to your local theater by way of studios that see enough financial potential to make money on them. Smaller filmmakers-or just filmmakers with non-mainstream films-usually don’t get their movies shown in a theater outside of a film festival. Spiritual Cinema Circle travels to film festivals all over the world and encourage submissions from undiscovered filmmakers to seek out the stories that deserve an audience.
Hand-Selected Spiritual Films
Out of the hundreds of spiritual movies, family films and stories of inspiration that Spiritual Cinema Circle reviews throughout the year, their acquisitions team handpicks the most enriching, uplifting and inspirational movies to pass along to you. Each one is a movie with a story that matters. Stories that remind us about what it means to be human. That explore new possibilities. That help us understand more of the world around us.
Their selections include a wide range of topics – from the power of the mind in What the Bleep Do We Know!? to living compassionately in The Tea Cup to the empowering message of creating your own destiny in The Secret or Illusion.
It Is A Rare Venue For Meaningful Movies
Spiritual Cinema Circle offers the opportunity for moviemakers to take a chance on subjects and storylines that have the power to become something much more than a movie. As a member, you can help to give these conscious filmmakers a voice. Even films that receive audience acclaim at small film festivals rarely ever get seen again. Together we’re helping change that.

The Gift: Episode 3
In the last installment of our original three-part series, Bonnie begins using a camera as Eela and Eno have taught her, offering Hailey a life-changing opportunity. Is it possible that the camera truly holds the creative, healing power of the ancient Lemurian dreamers? See how this beautifully crafted short series comes to completion, in a stellar wrap-up of The Gift.
16 min. Written and directed by Scott Cervine.
Charlie Thistle
Charlie Thistle is a bureaucrat who has worked 20 years at the Department of Normality, where change is not tolerated. One gray day fades into the next until one night he wrestles with the question, “Is this the way things were meant to be?” He dreams of a world in color, where animals speak and trees grow indoors. There comes a time in every man’s life when he has to stand up for what he believes in, and Charlie’s day is coming!
15 min. Written and directed by Bragi Schut.
The Umbrella
Set in a metropolitan setting, this short film follows the unexpected adventures of a blind man’s umbrella. It passes through the hands of several pedestrians before ultimately illustrating the adage “what goes around, comes around.”
No dialogue. 3 min. Written and directed by Aashni Shah.
Ocean of Pearls
This brilliant first feature from Sarab Neelam, M.D. depicts the universal quest for identity. As a Sikh in North America, Dr. Amrit Singh is of two worlds, but belongs to neither. “To my father, the turban is an article of faith,” says Amrit. “To me, it means I better make damned sure I’m not late for my flight.” When he is offered a prestigious position at a Detroit hospital, the young surgeon sees an opportunity to start fresh, only to discover that his appearance may threaten his success. What happens when our dreams seem to clash with our heritage? Perhaps it is through the collusion of the old ways and the new that we find out who we are.
97 min. Written and directed by Sarab Neelam
