Documentary on chaplaincy to screen at Sundance

Filmmaker Luke Lorentzen has created A Still Small Voice, a documentary on chaplaincy which will be shown at the Sundance Film Festival 2023 in January. Lab colleague Rev. David Fleenor (Stony Brook Medicine) worked with Lorentzen to create the film, in which “An aspiring hospital chaplain begins a yearlong residency in spiritual care, only to discover that to successfully tend to her patients, she must look deep within herself.” You can learn more about A Still Small Voice here.

Writing in The New York Times, Nicole Sperling notes “Among documentaries, the filmmaker Luke Lorentzen follows an aspiring hospital chaplain on a yearlong residency in ‘A Still Small Voice,’ which the director of programming Kim Yutani called ‘one of the more fascinating journeys I saw this year.'”

We will provide updates regarding the availability of this documentary on chaplaincy as they develop.

With a tradition dating back centuries, chaplains today are on the front lines – often in the midst of life and death situations – where the questions are the deepest and the need for spiritual and pastoral care the greatest.”
