Lichfield Cathedral: The Race To Save The Herkenrode Glass

In a special commission by Lichfield Cathedral, Maya Vision have created a short 12 minute film to highlight the ambitious project being undertaken to preserve and protect their priceless collection of Flemish painted glass.

The Herkenrode Glass is a treasure, not only of the West Midlands but also of Western Europe. As we hope you will see from this film, we have not only capture the craft and art required to undertake this project, but also the emotional and spiritual investment of those involved. Most excitingly the painted glass allows us a close-up and privileged insight into the medieval mind.

You can view the film here:

Los Angeles Times

“Memorable documentary series require at least three elements: a great story, big ideas and dazzling photography. The six-part history ''The Story of India'' has all three and more.”
