Grant Moninger","description":"This influential avant-garde short film made for the 1964 New York World's Fair drew national controversy for its allegorical portrayal of Jesus as a clown in the circus of life. A much more subtle and arty Christian film than we are usually accustomed to watching for this podcast, it tells a New Testament story using whimsical imagery that can turn deeply haunted at a moment's notice. Grant Moninger of American Cinematheque and Beyond Fest introduces us to Parable by reminiscing about his terrifying experience seeing it in church as a young kid. He also delights us with his vivid stories of growing up in an ultra-rural Protestant community involving graveyards, pageants, petty rivalries, and learning why dogs go to hell.&amp;nbsp; Follow Grant on Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/GrantMoninger Listen to the American Cinematheque official podcast: https:\/\/americancinemathequeshow.libsyn.com\/ View our full episode list and subscribe to any of our public feeds: http:\/\/boysbiblestudy.com Unlock bonus episodes and invitations to monthly livestreams: http:\/\/patreon.com\/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Instagram: http:\/\/instagram.com\/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Twitter: http:\/\/twitter.com\/boysbiblestudy ","author_name":"Boys' Bible Study","author_url":"http:\/\/boysbiblestudy.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/16985057\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/16985057"}
