BLINKING MADONNA & OTHER MIRACLES
photo: Catherine McDermott
Produced by:
Beth Harrington

Filmmaker Harrington is sucked into a media vortex when she accidentally captures "the miracle of the Blinking Madonna" on video during an Italian American religious feast, leading her to explore myth and faith in the lives of American Catholic women, including herself.

"A non-fiction charmer...a crowd-pleasing hit...Frederico Fellini meets 'Sleepless in Seattle'."
- The Phoenix
"Beneath BLINKING MADONNA's intentional surface comedy, there's a quiet wisdom that makes the movie remarkably rich...an affecting combination of soul-baring and storytelling."
- The Boston Herald
"A lighthearted, but deeply moving account of [the] mysterious."
- The Austin American-Statesmen
