Mirabile Dictu in Latin means "something wonderful to tell". And that's exactly what the organisers of the "Mirabile Dictu" International Catholic Film Festival want to do: tell film-goers the wonderful Christian message.

Using the power of film, evangelization is at the heart of its mission. The Rome-based festival, at its 4th edition (from 24 to 26 June), awards five prizes to films and actors competing in different categories, plus a special prize to French actress Marie-Christine Barrault for her remarkable career.  Click for Complete Article
 
Capax Dei Award to Salt and Light TV for In Her Footsteps: the Story of Kateri Tekakwitha.  We were very surprised to hear that we received the Capax Dei prize,” said Father Thomas Rosica, C.S.B., the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Salt and Light TV. “The film is one of our best films. We’ve done 45 or 47 documentaries in the past 10 years. The Kateri one is the most recent one . . . it’s quite extraordinary.”
He spoke about the world’s first canonised Native American Saint: “Kateri is an extraordinary figure. It’s a saint of the sixteenth century, that we were able to open up her story 400 years later.
