Monastere de la Visitation by Anne Goetze
With a full feature film, an artist captures the beauty of the contemplative nuns of the Visitation Order. Beginning with a quest to understand the spiritual journey of her aunt, a closed cloistered nun in the French Alps, it ultimately and organically became her own.
Through the lens of visual art and stories, the messages of peace, simplicity, and 'to be a gentle presence in a violent world' with others are shared. Awareness is given to these devoted women whose lives are detached from technology and whose mission is to pray for the world.
Hope resonates to help heal the hurts of humanity in a restless climate, an enlightenment of the spirit emerges, and a connection to the soul's purpose of being a seeker of God is offered.
