Mark your calendars: A new docudrama on the Immaculate Conception, from the filmmakers who brought us “Love and Mercy: Faustina” and featuring the Marian Fathers, is premiering in cinemas across the United States in December.
“I Am The Immaculate Conception,” presented by Fathom Events, will open on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Dec. 12, and be shown again on Dec. 14 and Dec. 17.
The film had its world premiere at the 14th annual Napa Institute Summer Conference last July 25.
Expert interpretation
“I Am The Immaculate Conception” were the words spoken by Mary, the Mother of God, as she introduced herself to St. Bernadette Soubirous in 1858 in Lourdes, France. During the seasons of Advent and Christmas, filmmakers invite audiences to ponder why Mary presents herself this way.
In the film, a group of eminent experts, including the Marian Fathers, analyze Greek texts of the Holy Scripture, revelations and the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. The result is a new interpretation of Scripture passages revealing Mary, the Mother of Christ, and her extraordinary role in the divine plan for the salvation of the world.
"I Am The Immaculate Conception" uses the latest technologies, including a virtual LED studio, and traditional scenography, to transport audiences to the eternal acts of the Holy Family — more than 2,000 years ago — to participate in the most crucial moments of Mary and Jesus’ lives, such as the miracle at the Wedding at Cana, the Last Supper, and the Crucifixion.
Marian participation
Among the familiar Marian faces are the Most Rev. Joseph Roesch, the Very Rev. Chris Alar, Fr. Kazimierz Chwalek, the Very Rev. Donald Calloway, and Fr. Boguslaw Gil.
“God needed to create Mary Immaculate because He needed a vessel by which to bring His Son to earth to fulfill His plan of redemption. Now, God cannot co-exist with sin so that vessel had to be pure, spotless, and immaculate,” explains Fr. Chris. “At this point in history, our world is war-torn, broken, and in need of the triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart. We need to be reminded that Mary stands with her arms open flowing with the graces of her Son to receive us and help us in these troubled times.”
“We are so grateful to the Marian Fathers for their collaboration on this film that is going to bring audiences to a point of reflection on Mary during the season where we honor her and her role in God’s plan for salvation,” says Michal Kondrat, producer. “This is a movie for today’s world in need of the sound teaching of the Church and the presence of Our Mother, Mary, the Immaculate Conception. We encourage families, parishes, and schools to see this movie together to grow in their love and devotion to Mary and her Son, Jesus.”
