El Tonto Por Cristo follows monks on the Texas Gulf inching toward sainthood. One-night-only screening + director Q&A. Limited seats.
Told in luminous vignettes, El Tonto Por Cristo is inspired by the ancient tradition of the Holy Fool, and set within the quiet rhythms of monastic life, it is the first English-language Orthodox narrative feature of its kind. Woven with Orthodox imagination, it becomes a transcendent meditation on holiness and humanity.
“Tarkovsky by way of Texas.” —David Lowery
“A dangerous film, in the best possible way.” —Jonathan Pageau
“Phenomenal. Truly a work of art.” —Frederica Mathewes-Green
Written and directed by Josh David Jordan (This World Won’t Break), the film is now on a grassroots roadshow tour—screening in cities across North America, one night only per stop.
This isn’t just a film. It’s a cinematic pilgrimage. You’re invited to walk with us. Each screening includes a Q&A with the filmmaker and an invitation to linger with the questions it stirs.
