Marian Films

Q: Where can I find movies that include Marian themes?

A: The Marian Library has a growing collection of films that are about the Blessed Virgin Mary or include her in some way in the context of the story. One of the current research projects sponsored at the institute is to gather and analyze the Marian content of films since the beginning of the industry. One may access the comprehensive database developed from this research on-line.
