For more than 75 years, the foundation has supported filmmakers through education, workshops, reviews, and film festivals.
Pope Francis gave a short off-the-cuff speech to the group about how creating a film that is a “work of beauty” can be “a great expression of God.”
“Beauty is that work of the Holy Spirit which creates harmony out of everything,” he said.
The pope also distributed a written message to the foundation members in which he described how God, after creating the sky, the earth, the stars, and all living things, became “a spectator of his work” after his creative actions.
“He contemplates what he has created and expresses his judgment: He ‘saw that it was good,’” Pope Francis said, quoting the Book of Genesis.
