WHY MOVIES ARE SO IMPORTANT<br />

To Restrict Creativity is to Restrict<br />

the very Nature of the Creator<br />

"The meaning of life is the most urgent of<br />

questions" --Albert Camus (Existentialist thinker).<br />

In “Movies and the Meaning of Life” author Kimberly<br />

Blessing points out that movies can help us reflect<br />

on five of life’s most important questions:<br />

1) What is reality and how can I know it?<br />

2) How can I find my true identity?<br />

3) What the significance of my interactions with<br />

others?<br />

4) What’s the point of my life?<br />

5) How ought I to live my life?<br />

The idea behind <strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Hollywood</strong> is that Movies can<br />

and must play an essential role helping us explore<br />

the meaning of our existence and our life together.<br />

No other quest is more necessary or important.<br />

Movies are powerful. Movies bring personal<br />

meaning, and can contribute to a peaceful world.<br />

Cinematic story telling can be a transforming event.<br />

<strong>Visual</strong> <strong>Hollywood</strong> takes<br />

an existential approach<br />

to life. We celebrate<br />

with human freedom.<br />

We use movies and the<br />

arts as a means of<br />

understanding the<br />

human condition and<br />

our collective relation<br />

to the world around us.<br />

Our basic quest is:<br />

1. To know what it<br />

means to be human in<br />

the world.<br />

2. The pursuit of human<br />

freedom.
