The second feature from New York-based filmmaker, writer, and collective member Caroline Golum loosely adapts the writings of 14th-century English mystic Julian of Norwich into a timely story of passion, plague, and revolt. Newcomer Tessa Strain stars as Julian, whose near-death encounters with Christ (Abraham Makany) ultimately inspired the first book in English written by a woman. Encouraged by her mentor Father Ambrose (Theodore Bouloukos, seen in Eephus and Spec favorite Jobez’s World) Julian commits herself to the life of a religious recluse – but it’ll take more than a stone-walled cell to keep the earthly world at bay.

With its handwoven, crafty aesthetic, meticulous lighting, and decidedly medieval visual compositions from Familiar Touch cinematographer Gabe Elder, Revelations is a decidedly unfashionable, unapologetically sincere answer to the current assembly line approach to independent filmmaking. Evoking the “transcendental” works of beloved auteurs Martin Scorsese, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Andrei Tarkovsky, Spectacle Theater is proud to host this weekend engagement of REVELATIONS OF DIVINE LOVE with special guest Q&As following the screenings.
