I am deeply honored to receive the Exceptional Merit Award from the Religious Faith International Film Festival for our third documentary in the Contact series ‘Contact: The Divine Realm’. This recognition affirms my belief that cinema can be a powerful catalyst for spiritual exploration and self-discovery. Throughout our lives, we are called to investigate and research our faith journeys with open hearts and curious minds—not simply accepting what we inherit, but actively seeking a deeper understanding and authentic connection to the divine. This award has inspired me to continue creating stories that encourage audiences to embark on their own spiritual investigations, to question thoughtfully, and to grow in wisdom and compassion. I would like to thank all of our interviewees (Anne Aleckson, Judy Carroll, The Very Reverend Dr. Peter Catt, Pastor Brad Smith, Dr. Gemma Regan, Josie Thomson, Andrew Radziewicz and Sheryl Gottschall) who made this project so special. regards Sharon Ann Rowland

In the space between sleep and waking, between breath and heartbeat, there exists a doorway - our ancestors knew: CONTACT comes not when we demand it, but when we surrender to the mystery. We've been fortunate to gain some traction at festivals lately. It's humbling to see the work resonate, even if we're still very much the underdog in this space…

Get ready to hear from The Very Reverend Dr. Peter Catt ✨ Dean of St. John's Anglican Cathedral in our upcoming documentary series on Contact. Dr. Peter Catt embodies a fascinating intersection of scientific inquiry and spiritual leadership. His remarkable journey began in the laboratories of the University of NSW, where he earned his PhD studying the intricate dance of evolutionary microbiology, before answering a deeper calling to religious ministry and theological studies at the Melbourne College of Divinity. During his decade as Dean of Grafton (1997-2007), Dr. Catt pioneered groundbreaking conversations between faith and reason by establishing the International Philosophy, Science and Theology Festival. This innovative gathering brought together great minds to explore the profound questions that lie at the crossroads of human understanding.

Today, his work spans multiple dimensions of modern spirituality and social justice. He brings fresh energy to ancient traditions through liturgical innovation, while delving into the rich waters of Narrative Theology and Christian Formation. His unique blend of scientific rigor and spiritual wisdom makes him a compelling figure in contemporary religious discourse, bridging gaps between seemingly disparate worlds and demonstrating how faith and reason can work together to address humanity's greatest challenges.
