📋 The List

Over the time, we’ve tracked down an ever-growing number of movies and TV shows where stained glass makes an appearance, sometimes as a central visual motif, sometimes hidden in the background like a cinematic Easter egg.

This is our ongoing reference list: a curated collection of scenes, moments, and productions where glass steals the scene, or at least glows meaningfully in it. From cathedrals to living rooms lit by Tiffany lamps, these titles feature stained glass in all its storytelling glory.

This is not a complete list (yet), but it’s a start. We’ll keep adding as we discover more, so if you have a favorite scene we missed, let us know!

Special (not in list)

These are movies/docs about stained glass and stained glass project. They deserve a special recognition.

• Holy Frit (2021): a talented yet unknown Los Angeles artist bluffs his way into a commission for the largest stained glass window of its kind. Yet he doesn’t know how to make it and seeks help from an Italian glass maestro to complete the project in time.

• Jerome Hiler – Cinema Before 1300 (2023): a digital film by Jerome Hiler, adapted from his illustrated lecture exploring medieval stained glass as a communal, devotional art form and an early precursor to cinema, available through the Harvard Film Archive.
