Christianity has always been one of the most important themes in the history of cinema. Even in the earliest days, a director like George Méliès would direct several films that deals with Christian faith such as Jeanne d'Arc in 1899. In 1905, Ferdinand Zecca and Lucien Nonguet co-direct [[La vie et la passion de Jésus Christ]]. This film would be among the first production to features the life of Christ on the big screen, for a large number of people; it was the first time in their life that they had the gospels on a big screen. A couple of years later, in the early 10's, [[Cecil B.DeMille]] became very famous among moviegoers by making films with religious themes. After spending the decade working on movies, it's with the film; [[Ten Commandments ]](1923) that DeMille puts Christian filmaking to a point no other director never got to. A silent version of the 1950's classic Ben-Hur exist and Mary Pickford played in a couple Christian themes films; [[Sparrows]] is one of them. Several others directors in the silent era did worked with religious themes; [[Carl Dreyer]] who famously made [[La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc]] in 1928. This film is considered among film scholars and critics around the world to be one of the greatest movies of all time.
