BYU Studies volume 46; number 2; is a special issue on Mormons and film. ldquo;A History of Mormon Cinema;rdquo; a major article by Randy Astle and Gideon Burton; tells the history of Mormon interaction with film from 1905 to 2007. They discuss portrayals of Mormons in film (both positive and negative); Mormons in the film industry; the use of film by the institutional Church; and independent Mormon films. They situate hundreds of Mormon films in five identifiable eras; or ldquo;waves.rdquo; James drsquo;Arc examines portrayals of Mormons as vampires; specifically in Trapped by the Mormons. Terryl Givens explores paradoxes in Mormon culture and film in particular: searching and certainty; the collapsing of sacred distance; and Zion as both paradise and exile. Sharon Swenson shows how movies are not simply entertainment; but affect human relationships and interior life. Travis Anderson shows how avoiding evil in film and art is not enough; but seeking after godly in the arts can teach and inspire us. Eric Samuelsen explores the financial side of filmmaking. Gideon Burton gives context to Dean Duncanrsquo;s manifesto for ldquo;Fit for the Kingdom;rdquo; short documentary Mormon films made for the Internet. Thomas Lefler and Gideon Burton describe the various goals in filmmaking and use Legacy as a case study. The issue ends with reviews of three Mormon documentaries and the 2007 LDS film festival.Contents mdash; Volume 46 Number 2 (2007)ArticlesEstablishing Shot: The Scope of Mormon Cinema; by Gideon O.

NotBy Chandler BrownI had it assigned as a play I had to read to class. But I thoroughly enjoyed it!
