“The Greater Glory”
This is a two reel film made by Caravel Films, New York, for the Jesuits in the U.S.A. A copy is available in England and will be seen at the Vocations Exhibition. All details may be had from the Film Secretary, M a n r e s a House, Roehampton, London, S.W.15.
The film is a straightforward, somewhat unimaginative, account of the training of a Jesuit. One notices how, in such religious films, there is a certain camera cliche, inevitable, perhaps, of long lines of students moving down corridors, of faces in chapel, of feet coming downstairs, of groups of students engaged in class work, etc. It is done efficiently, but perhaps the English Jesuits will make another and more poetical version of the story of their formation. It can be done and they could do it. The commentary, pleasantly and convincingly spoken, is by Father R. J. Gannon S.J.
“The Master Calleth Thee”
Andrew Buchanan made this film for the Daughters of the Mother of Good Counsel (F.M.B.C.) and it deals with the work done by the various orders of religious women: it is
available in 35mm. and 16mm. Information can be had from the C.F.I or from the F.M.B.C. 27 Claverton Street, London, S.W.i.
“Men In White”
Made by the White Fathers, this is a useful film for many purposes in addition to its primary one of stimulating the vocations of laybrothers for the African Missions. Its commentary given by Wilfred Pickles is not the least of its attractions. 16mm. colour. Information from White Fathers, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham.
“Story Of Pluscarden”
This is an account, in colour, of the revival of the Benedictine Abbey of Pluscarden, in Scotland, and shows,
among other things, the ceremony during which Abbot Upson, O.S.B., our Vice-President, officiated at the rededication. Details available from Prinknash Abbey, Gloucester; or from the C.F.I.
“Pilgrimage To Fatima” and
“Crucifers To Walsingham”
Perhaps we may be allowed to mention two films which we were responsible for and which have had a certain popularity in turning people’s attention to the notion of vocation. The Fatima film is a seven reel black and white, sound film and the Walsingham film in two reels tells of the famous Cross bearing pilgrimage of July 1948. We would be glad to have these films seen in other parts of the country but for this we need the co-operation of the various Catholic societies and parish groups.
There are many other films dealing with religious vocations and orders, but these few are those which have been brought to our attention. We are always glad to know of and assist the distribution of any religious films, whether professional or amateur.
URGENT!
We should be able to pay several longstanding creditors if those who are in debt to the Catholic Film Institute would settle their accounts.
If this concerns you will you please make an effort to enable us to meet our obligations.
Thank you.
