The “Faith & Film Festival” was designed to create a platform for educating and showcasing uniquely formed works of story-telling. The one common thread in all of the chosen films each year is “each filmmaker’s journey of relentless faith to finish or bring his/her work to a goal point”. This year’s theme is “The Journey” and how we, as filmmakers, have arrived. Everyone’s story is different and how they make a story is unique as well. We want to, not only showcase, great films that tell a story. We want to also hear the story and journey behind making the film.
All jury awards are for the following categories:
Best Narrative Short
