The Holy Family Album

The Holy Family Album

"The Holy Family Album" is a television documentary written and narrated by Angela Carter. It was directed by JoAnn Kaplan and produced by John Ellis at Large Door Productions, London, UK. It was broadcast on Channel 4 on December 3 1991 as part of the "Without Walls" series, commissioned by Waldemar Janusczcak.

The documentary treats representations of Christ in Western art as if they are photographs in God's photo album. According to John Ellis, the programme "caused considerable controversy", and was criticised in an editorial in "The Times" even before it was transmitted. The programme was featured in Channel 4's review programme "Right to Reply" and a complaint to the Broadcasting Standards Council was not upheld. It has not been retransmitted or published since Angela Carter's death in 1992.
