BYU Studies presents a special issue on Mormons and film. Randy Astle and Gideon Burton’s monumental history of Mormon cinema covers a hundred years of Mormon involvement in film and offers a unique perspective of LDS history through the lens of the camera.
Other articles discuss the good and bad in filmdom: anti-Mormon films, paradoxes in Mormon culture, focusing on the good instead of the negative in film, finding spiritual meaning in film, and the economics of Mormon moviemaking. The volume concludes with reviews of recent Mormon films.
