Journal Title: PAAKAT: Revista de Tecnología y Sociedad - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 17

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to analyze the religious entertainment industry through catholic and evangelical film projects. The work is divided in three parts. The first one presents the concept of religious material culture, reconsidering the logic of adherence to it. In the second and third parts, the analysis focuses on the documentary Francisco de Buenos Aires (2014) and the Christian film Poema de Salvación (2009), reconstructing the director´s perspective based on the ethical, technical and aesthetic dimension developed. Finally, the conclusions compare both films projects. Grounded on a qualitative methodology and a sociological approach, the article includes in-depth interviews with cultural producers and documents analysis.
