The Missionary Film Committee, London - established in the 1920's, was a committee of the London Missionary Society that was in charge of making Missionary films. ‘Missionary films’ are best defined as films shot in the field, by missionaries and meant for a metropolitan audience. In 1929, the London Missionary Society decided to make a moving picture of Palestine. They selected T. H. Baxter to make the picture. Baxter had produced the films “India Today” and Africa Today. A note published in London on March 1929 wrote: ”Mr. Baxter left London for Palestine to superintend the film, which is being made under the auspices of the Missionary Film Committee." “Our aim will not be just to get a travel picture,” Mr. Baxter said to the “Daily Telegraph.” “We shall, of course, show the Palestine of today, but when people visit that land, what they are really interested in, is the Palestine of the Bible. Our purpose will be to make the Bible real through the existent Palestine." The Missionary Film Committee published in 1931 few series of postcards depicting views and people in the Bible Land.
