It is well known that in the works Nicholas Gay evangelical theme holds a special place. This fact has prompted the organizers of the film program to try to investigate the influence of the iconographic and artistic tradition in the early adaptation of the New Testament. The first attempt at an image of Jesus' life by means of film was made in France for the next year after its invention. Virtually all "animated pictures" of the time noticeably influence of paintings by Fra Angelico, Correggio, Leonardo, Raphael, Mantegna, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Rubens, Gustave Dore, and the Pre-Raphaelites.

to program selected by the famous silent films of the period film, much more closely linked with the history of art than it might seem at first glance. They all dropped the outstanding directors of the Old and New Worlds. Ends with a small retrospective show of the first sound film adaptation of the gospel story, made in France in 1935.

Amazing graphic images of the metamorphosis of classical painting Gospels in the work of Nikolai Ge are striking parallels in the expressionist style Carl Theodor Dreyer and - especially - by Robert Wiene.
