Produced by Guillermo Arriaga and featuring music by Peter Gabriel, the anthology consists of several short films about religion directed by filmmakers like Hector Babenco, Mira Nair and Emir Kusturica. The film sounds interesting as it is, but I am especially intrigued because Israeli director Amos Gitai is contributing a short film that will be based in some way on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/filmchat\/2013\/06\/israeli-director-pays-short-film-homage-to-the-prophet-amos.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">the Book of Amos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The film doesn\u2019t seem to have a release date yet, but according to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ramascreen.com\/words-with-gods-trailer\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">press release<\/a>, there will be \u201csneak peeks\u201d at \u201cvarious cinematic events in the U.S. and Europe\u201d beginning next month.
