About Our Inspirational and Entertaining Films
Traditionally, inspirational movies make it to your local theater by way of studios that see enough financial potential to make money on them. Smaller filmmakers-or just filmmakers with non-mainstream films-usually don't get their movies shown in a theater outside of a film festival. Spiritual Cinema Circle travels to film festivals all over the world and encourage submissions from undiscovered filmmakers to seek out the stories that deserve an audience.
Hand-selected inspirational movies
Out of the hundreds of spiritual movies, family films and stories of inspiration we review throughout the year, our acquisitions team handpicks the most enriching, uplifting and inspirational movies to pass along to you. Each one is a movie with a story that matters. Stories that remind us about what it means to be human. That explore new possibilities. That help us understand more of the world around us.
Our selections include a wide range of topics - from the power of the mind in What the Bleep Do We Know!? to living compassionately in The Tea Cup to the empowering message of creating your own destiny in The Secret or Illusion.
Movies everyone can enjoy
Spiritual Cinema Circle offers the opportunity for movie makers to take a chance on subjects and story lines that have the power to become something much more than a movie. As a member, you help give these conscious filmmakers a voice. All movies are are difficult, if not impossible to see anywhere else. Even films that receive audience acclaim at small film festivals rarely ever get seen again. Together we're helping change that.
