In This Day – A Short Film

June 22, 2020, in Videos > Short Film, by

‘In This Day’ is a poignant and visually stunning short film put together by a team of young adults in New York City (USA). It was made in honour of the bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab but its subject and its themes of serving others, the importance of prayer, and of facing tests and difficulties are applicable anytime.

Special thanks to the team who created this film for granting us permission to share it on Baha’i Blog.

You can read an interview with Nava Kavelin, one of team members who put this film together, here on Baha’i Blog: In This Day – A Short Film About Prayer and Overcoming Tests and Difficulties

You can find more artistic expressions inspired by the bicentenary anniversaries of the Births of Baha’u’llah (2017) and the Bab (2019) here: https://bicentenary.bahai.org/
