WHERE IS GOD? – A cinematic art experience about faith, doubt, and inner paths
On Sunday, November 1, 2026, the Diocesan Museum Freising connects film, art contemplation, and interreligious dialogue. The documentary Where is God? by Sandra Gold will be screened. Afterwards, the director will discuss with the audience about spiritual experiences, personal questions, and the various ways people seek meaning.
A documentary film between spirituality and reality
Sandra Gold accompanies four individuals from different religious traditions in her documentary: a Catholic nun, a Jewish author, a Zen teacher, and a Sufi. Their life paths offer a pluralistic view of religion and spirituality. The film is less interested in ready-made answers than in the lived experience of faith, doubt, closeness, and inner calm.
Film, Discussion, and Aesthetic Experience
The screening develops a special exhibition atmosphere in the historical museum environment. Among sacred art, paintings, sculptures, and art historical testimonies, the filmic language receives a resonant framework. Artwork contemplation and film perception enter into a dialogue: Light, spatial effect, and the concentrated attention of the audience create an art experience that makes religious themes sensually and intellectually tangible.
Speed-Dating with Art
At 4:30 PM, the Diocesan Museum invites you to the format Speed-Dating with Art. For fifteen minutes, a single artwork will be the focus – selected to match the film. This short, intense artwork contemplation opens a direct access to image motif, material, symbolism, and cultural context. From 4:00 PM, the DIMU-BAR in the museum's courtyard will welcome visitors.
Cultural Education and Interreligious Dialogue
This event combines cinematic mediation with cultural education. Art historical perspectives, religious imagery, and personal narratives intersect without reducing the diversity of spiritual experiences to a single interpretation. The subsequent discussion with Sandra Gold creates space for questions, exchange, and a personal aesthetic experience.
Conclusion: An Evening for Open Questions
WHERE IS GOD? invites you to a concentrated art experience about faith, identity, and the search for meaning. Visitors can expect a compelling documentary film, a personal conversation with the director, and an unusual connection of museum, film, and dialogue. Anyone wanting to directly experience religious art, social issues, and spiritual broadening of horizons should not miss this evening at the Diocesan Museum Freising.
