Made in the 1940s by Phi E. Cantonwine, "Bells of the
Past" takes a charming and idealized look at California's
missions. The legacy of Father Junipero Serra is
discussed. The Spanish missions in California comprise a
series of 21 religious outposts; established by Catholic
priests of the Franciscan order between 1769 and 1833, to
expand Christianity among the Native Americans northwards
into what is today the U.S. state of California. San
Diego's mission is shown at 1:15, Mission San Luis Rey de
Francia is shown at 2:00, and San Juan Capistrano at
2:15, including ruins at 2:44, San Gabriel mission at
2:50. San Fernando mission is seen at 4:00, and San
Buenaventura at 4:30, Santa Inez at 5:00. At 6:00,
Mission La Pur sima Concepci n. San Luis Obispo is seen
at 7:30. San Antonio de Padua is seen at 8:30. At 9:00,
the ruins of the Soledad mission are seen. At 9:27, the
San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo mission is seen, where
Junipero Serra is buried. Jun pero Serra y Ferrer,
O.F.M., (November 24, 1713 August 28, 1784) was a Roman
Catholic Spanish priest and friar of the Franciscan Order
who founded a mission in Baja California and the first
nine of 21 Spanish missions in California from San Diego
to San Francisco, in what was then Alta California in the
Province of Las Californias, New Spain. Serra was
beatified by Pope John Paul II on 25 September 1988 in
Vatican City. Pope Francis canonized him on 23 September
2015, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., during his
first visit to the United States. Because of Serra's
recorded acts of piety combined with his missionary
efforts, he was granted the posthumous title Apostle of
California. Up the Camino Real the San Juan Baptista
missions and Santa Clara missions are seen at the 10:30
mark. San Jose de Guadalupe is seen at 11:00. Mission San
Francisco is seen at 11:20, also known as Mission Dolores
-- considered the most beautiful of all missions. San
Francisco Solano is seen at 11:40 and Sonoma, completes
this journey through the "Bells of the Past". The
declaration of Serra as a Catholic saint by the Holy See
was controversial with some Native Americans who
criticize Serra's treatment of their ancestors and
associate him with the suppression of their culture.
Motion picture films don't last forever; many have
already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades,
we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as
it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including
home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If
you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or
wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can
share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
