NOOMA (2002-2009)


NOOMA is a series of short films produced by Flannel promoting spiritual reflections on individual life experiences. The name NOOMA comes from a phonetic spelling of the Greek word πνευμα (pneuma), meaning "wind," "spirit," or "breath."[1] The video series consists of 24 videos created from 2002-2009 featuring Christian teacher Rob Bell.

NOOMA premiered in November 2002. The last film was published July 2009. Twenty-four different films have been created, each with a different theme:

    001 | Rain: 
"Things don't always work out the way we want them to."
    002 | Flame: 
"What's up with the word love?"
    003 | Trees: 
"Do our lives really matter?"
    004 | Sunday: 
"Why do we do the things we do?"
    005 | Noise: 
"Why is silence so hard to deal with?"
    006 | Kickball: 
"Why can't we always have what we want?"
    007 | Luggage: 
"It isn't always easy to forgive."
    008 | Dust: 
"Does God believe in us?"
    009 | Bullhorn:

    011 | Rhythm: 
"What does it mean to have a relationship with God?"
    012 | Matthew: 
"Suffering the loss of someone we love can be the most difficult thing in life to deal with."
    013 | Rich: 
"Maybe God has blessed us with everything we have so we can bless and give to others."
    014 | Breathe: 
"Our physical breath is actually a picture of a deeper spiritual reality."
    015 | You: 
"Some of the central claims of the Christian faith are the source of many discussions and heated debates. But are we always debating the right things?"
    016 | Store:

    017 | Today:

"Why are we so concerned with what other people think, say, or look like?"
    019 | Open: 
"What if there’s more to prayer than just God listening and answering?"
    020 | Shells: 
"What are we really doing with our time?"
    021 | She: 
"When we omit the feminine, are we missing a very fundamental part of God's nature?"
    022 | Tomato: 
"Do we try so hard to live the perfect life that we miss out on how to truly live?"
    023 | Corner: 
"Why is it that often when we get what we want, we still feel empty?"
    024 | Whirlwind: 
"What do we do when there aren't nice, neat answers?"
