OUR STRENGTH

A BODY of dedicated professional, moral, and film literate volunteers who will conduct a weekly film review and classification of films on the basis of their TECHNICAL and MORAL strength and weaknesses.

 

 

cinema_logo106OUR LOGO

The CINEMA logo incorporates crisscrossed film strips, an open eye, and the CBCP-Office on Women logo.

The film strip represents the specific medium on which CINEMA centeres its apostolate -- thus, its central location in the logo. Film strips are crisscrossed to symbolize the first letter "X" (chi) of the Greek word for "Christ", reminiscent also of the cross.  The film strips indicate that film must be appreciated in the light of the Cross, the instrument of enlightenment.

The open eye underscores the link between the eye of the camera and the human eye, emphasizing a soulful appreciation of FILM as an art.  Its prominent position in the logo indicates the importance of vigilance in our choice and patronage of cinema for it to uplift and enrich its viewers.

The Office on Women logo -- located in the corner beneath the film strips and the open eye -- signifies the visual function of the Episcopal element in CINEMA's existence. It is the foundation upon which CINEMA is built under the auspices of its Office on Women.

Altogether, the elements in the CINEMA logo are a visual embodiment of the organization's name -- Catholic INitiative for Enlightened Movie Appreviation -- an eloquent statement of the purpose of this Church-inspired body.
