**IAȘI, ROMANIA —** Orthodox filmmakers, photographers, and media professionals will gather in Iași from November 10–14 for the third Quo Vadis International Film Festival, where Logos Cinema’s Chris Vlahonasios will lead a panel exploring the relationship between visual art and the sacred. This was announced in a release sent to UOJ-America.

The November 10 panel, titled “The Aesthetics of the Sacred: Photography and Cinematography,” will examine how light, composition, and moving images can communicate faith and beauty. Participants will also discuss filming liturgical services and Orthodox community life with reverence, telling authentic stories without sentimentality, and reaching audiences beyond the Church.

Vlahonasios will open the event, which will also feature Dr. Milja Radović, Fr. Cezar Hârlăoanu, dean of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Iași, and Prof. Adrian Stoleriu, dean of the Faculty of Visual Arts and Design. The panel will accompany the photo exhibition “My Neighbor: The Gospel Lived in Orthodox Communities Around the World,” organized in collaboration with Byzanfest. The exhibition will open at At the Dome, Braunstein Palace, on November 10 at 9:30 a.m.

Vlahonasios will also meet with Orthodox filmmakers, including Yelena Popovic, director of Man of God and Moses the Black, to discuss opportunities for collaboration and distribution. Other attendees include iconographer Jonathan Pageau and several filmmakers whose work is available on the Logos Cinema streaming platform: Aleksandar Jović, director of Beyond the Peak; Zoya Dimitrova, director of the documentary Happy Stones; and Alexandru Ionescu, director of The Athos in My Heart and Joy in the Gift from the Holy Mountain.

"I believe by engaging the Divine throughout the creative process we can find the peace we so desperately need. I also hope those who attend the photo exhibit and screenings will see the world with fresh eyes," said Vlahonasios,

The festival, held under the Archdiocese of Iași, features films, conferences, exhibitions, and concerts exploring Christianity’s spiritual and cultural heritage.
