Luminous Film Screening and Panel Discussion
Hosted by Infuse, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting mission-driven efforts, this event intends to generate dialogue within the community around the intersection of science, work and faith. The event will kick off with an opportunity for guests to engage with various local organizations at our community booths. Attendees are invited to arrive early to purchase some delicious food and beverages at the local MSA Annex businesses, and to participate in some free, interactive activities.
Luminous offers a thought-provoking narrative that highlights the profound connections between scientific inquiry and spiritual belief. Following the screening, a lively community dialogue will be held, featuring a panel that includes the film’s subject, astronomer Larry Molnar, and award-winning filmmaker, Sam Smartt. The discussion will be moderated to explore how faith can serve as a foundation for groundbreaking scientific discoveries and how the two fields can sometimes seem at odds.
About the Film:
When astronomer, Dr. Larry Molnar, and a small team of students stumble across a strange star, they embark on a dramatic journey of scientific discovery, which brings the unlikely team into the international spotlight. But others in the astronomical community are skeptical, and Larry’s professional reputation hangs in the balance. In production since 2014, Luminous, a feature documentary by award-winning filmmaker Sam Smartt (Wagonmasters), follows Larry’s journey to test his unprecedented prediction, knowing that its success or failure will unfold squarely in the international spotlight.
Luminous is a compelling exploration of how faith and science can intersect in profound and sometimes unexpected ways. The film invites viewers to reflect on the ways in which belief systems can inform and inspire scientific endeavors, challenging the traditional boundaries often perceived between these two domains.
