Follow Holy Fool FilmsEl Tonto Por Cristo – A Cinematic PilgrimageStep into a black-and-white world where sanctity hides in plain sight.Join us for a special screening of El Tonto Por Cristo, an independent feature film inspired by the ancient tradition of the Orthodox Holy Fool—a monk who carries others’ pain, breaks both worldly and monastic norms, and lives in radical repentance and strange joy.Shot along the Texas coast and crafted by award-winning husband-wife duo Josh David and Jessica Jordan, El Tonto Por Cristo is both a visual meditation and a deeply human story. Compared to the works of Tarkovsky and Dreyer, this film invites you not just to watch—but to reflect.
