CRUEL FATHERS AND AMAZING MOTHERS
THE HOLY FAMILY BETWEEN RELIGION, ARTS AND FILM

Natalie Fritz

This interdisciplinary doctoral thesis analyses how the meaning of the religious motif is updated during cross-media transmission processes. The project uses an interdisciplinary approach and focuses on contemporary adaptations of the Holy Family motif in art-house films, reflecting on their specific context and on the iconographic traditions that provide a backdrop.
