  • Mormon Cinema on the Web
    Mormon Cinema on the Web Randy Astle ormon cinema on the Internet is a moving target. Because change M in this medium occurs so rapidly, the information presented in this review will necessarily become dated in a few months and much more so in the years to come. What I hope to provide, therefore, is a snapshot of online resources related to LDS or Mormon cinema near the beginning of their evolution. I believe that the Internet will become the next great force in both Mormon cinema and world cinema in general, if it has not already done so. Hence, while the current article may prove useful for contemporary readers by surveying online resources currently available, hopefully it will also be of interest to readers years from now by provid- ing a glimpse back into one of the greatest, and newest, LDS art forms in its infancy. At the present, websites devoted to Mormonism and motion pictures can be roughly divided into four categories: 1. Those that promote specific titles or production companies 2. Those that sell Mormon films on traditional video formats (primar- ily DVD) 3. Those that discuss or catalog Mormon films 4. Those that exhibit Mormon films online The first two categories can be dealt with rather quickly. Promotional Websites Today standard practice throughout the motion picture industry is for any new film to have a dedicated website with trailers, cast and crew BYU Studies 7, no. (8) 161 162 v BYU Studies biographies, release information, or other promotional material, and this is true of Mormon films as well.

However, we also had the unfortunate experience of wearing out our air conditioner and having to wait a few weeks to have it replaced. On a particularly warm Sunday afternoon, I sought refuge from our hot, stuffy house and spent some time outside—grateful for the relief of a gentle breeze and the cool shade of our covered patio. As I pondered on my temporary hardship, my thoughts—as they often do—turned to the pioneers. In fact, I smiled inwardly as I could hear the spirited words of my youngest daughter echoing back from conversations in the past: “You and your pioneers.” Thinking about her words took me back to a day nearly thirty years ago—the memory preserved perfectly in my mind. I was a teenager somewhere in Provo Canyon, wearing a bonnet, pantaloons, and a calico dress. I was lying face-down in the dirt. The sun was hot and I was physically and emo- tionally spent. My feet were blistered and bleeding and tears were streaming down my dust-covered cheeks as I watched the wagons and handcarts roll on without me. Realizing they were not coming back or slowing down, I willed myself to get up and limped painfully along. I vividly remember ask- ing out loud: “Why? Why would they do it?” Even though at the end of my Pioneer Trek, I boarded an air-conditioned bus and returned home to an air-conditioned house, a hot shower, a soft bed, and a kind-hearted mother who eagerly satisfied my first request—a hot Big Mac sandwich! —that week of temporary hardship had an incredible spiritual impact on me and I have felt a particular kinship to the pioneers ever since.

Legacy is also emblematic of the Fourth Wave, as films, particularly within the Church, became larger in terms of production scale and narrative scope.

First, it was the first period dominated by video tech- nology and various media besides traditional film; though I shall continue to use the term filmmaking, the majority of productions were now distrib- uted electronically, even if they did not originate that way.

Simmonds Religious Education, BYU Master of Arts In 1852, the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made the pivotal decision to publicize the doctrine and practice of plural marriage—something they had worked to keep out of the public eye for years. This decision came in response to federal and social pressures. They quickly moved to announce and defend plural marriage among Church members as well as broader society, including those in the federal government.
