The vision of the Jubilee Awards and the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival is to make one of the many steps needed to lead men to Christ, to train Christians to actually think like Christians, and to take back the culture for the Lord Jesus Christ in the area of film by encouraging, motivating, and rewarding those uncompromising, creative, and innovative filmmakers who are willing to take the narrow path.

The International Buddhist Film Festival (IBFF) presents, archives, preserves and promotes Buddhist-themed and Buddhist-inspired cinema of all kinds: features, documentaries, animation, experimental work, children’s films and television programs. IBFF is a unique resource serving audiences, educators and filmmakers in partnership with presenting institutions around the world (see Events). The International Buddhist Film Festival offers cinema as a vehicle for wider appreciation and better understanding of Buddhism by general audiences, particularly for the remarkable ethnic and cultural diversity evident among Buddhists worldwide today.

Films include English language or subtitled works from all over the world, and embrace a very broad and fluid definition of “buddhist.” $25-35 to enter.

Mosaic LA Film Fest

cage_editor — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:42:28 +0000

It is a thousand short films back-to-back that illuminate our victories, tragedies, and revelations. Each life intersects others until it becomes apparent that the whole of a person is not an abandoned room full of reels, but an epic. That’s why the creative minds at Mosaic and Awaken are bringing you the Mosaic LA Film Fest (MOLAFF) where we are challenging visionaries with Soul Cravings: An Exploration of the Human Spirit, a theme that encourages artists to bring the broken things of the world to the cutting room floor and explore what remains: the raw, often-hidden beauty of the human story. Our vision sprang from the need for truthful filmmaking and personal expression that is at once wildly imaginative and unflinchingly introspective. We want work that skims the surface but plunges unexpectedly into a story that speaks to the heart. We want to hear what an epiphany sounds like to a character who has never heard a word. We want to see the future in the flash of a child’s eyes. We want to see what the hand shooting heroine would look like administering a vaccine. Cash Prizes!

In 1991, a group of visionaries united to create a unique film festival to honor beautifully made films that celebrate the positive aspects of life called the Heartland Film Festival. The Heartland Film Festival started in 1992 as a small event in Indianapolis and has expanded over time to become one of the fastest growing film festivals in the country. Today, the annual film festival is a ten-day event full of independent films, a variety of special events for film enthusiasts of all ages, and a one-of-a-kind experience in one of the Midwest’s most inviting cities.
