Popcorn tub ready. Phone on silent. Back reclined. Lights dim. Let the magic begin! The Indian cinema has a power over us like no other. Be it the cast, the songs, the story, or the message, film-viewing as an experience is much more than just for ‘entertainment, entertainment, and entertainment’. Be it a good movie or bad, we love to discuss, debate, and analyse. There is no denying that they stay with us for a long time, because bade-bade deshon mein aisi chhoti-chhoti baatein hoti rehti hain. Healing at the Movies is a book about cinema and its impact on us. Apart from the glitz, the glamour, and the sparkle, films can subconsciously influence our thoughts and how we react to situations in life. The three uninterrupted hours that we give, we share each character’s pain and problems as much as their joys and celebrations. This is where reality and fiction merge together . . . where a song and dance sequence can teach us more about society than society itself. *Cue the song: Khalbali hai khalbali* Every film is a reflection of its times. This book is a treasure trove of movies made on pertinent social issues that will not only rekindle your love for the Indian cinema but also make you a better, informed human being. So, what are you waiting for? Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost ...

Like no other medium before it, the popular movie presents the potential of a new power for illuminating the depth of human experience. E-Motion Picture Magic employs that power as a tool to increase consciousness. Cinema therapy offers more perspective on life, prompting the viewer to step back from his or her problems in order to feel less insecure, worried, or discontented. Using films for self-improvement allows a shift in perspective when viewed with conscious awareness. The use of movies for personal growth and healing carries forward a long-standing connection between storytelling and self-reflection that may date back to the beginnings of spoken language. The movie experience used in very specific ways can have significant benefits for those who are willing to apply themselves using E-Motion Picture Magic that can be both beneficial as well as enjoyable.

Much of what we see expressed in the church today is built on more than just the New Testament. It's built mostly on the Old Testament, Church culture, and Paganism. If we are to succeed in making disciples of all nations then we must go back to the "template" we find in the Bible. Let the reformation begin!

While film and video has long been used within psychological practice, researchers and practitioners have only just begun to explore the benefits of film and video production as therapy. This volume describes a burgeoning area of psychotherapy which employs the art of filmmaking and digital storytelling as a means of healing victims of trauma and abuse. It explores the ethical considerations behind this process, as well as its cultural and developmental implications within clinical psychology. Grounded in clinical theory and methodology, this multidisciplinary volume draws on perspectives from anthropology, psychiatry, psychology, and art therapy which support the use and integration of film/video-based therapy in practice.

From cynical portrayals like The Front Page to the nuanced complexity of All the President’s Men, and The Insider, movies about journalists and journalism have been a go-to film genre since the medium's early days. Often depicted as disrespectful, hard-drinking, scandal-mongering misfits, journalists also receive Hollywood's frequent respect as an essential part of American life. Matthew C. Ehrlich tells the story of how Hollywood has treated American journalism. Ehrlich argues that films have relentlessly played off the image of the journalist as someone who sees through lies and hypocrisy, sticks up for the little guy, and serves democracy. He also delves into the genre's always-evolving myths and dualisms to analyze the tensions—hero and oppressor, objectivity and subjectivity, truth and falsehood—that allow journalism films to examine conflicts in society at large.
