In the 1970s, the church also commissioned Brigham Young University (BYU) to produce short films for use in the Church Educational System. These films, shown mostly in the seminaries and institutes of religion, teach religious principles, church history, and general kindness. Released on VHS (and increasingly on DVD), they became popular home entertainment. A wide variety of these films are now available through BYU's Creative Works Office. These films differ from those of Mormon cinema, which are produced without official church involvement. (en)
