Competition / Film Festival:
180 Microcinema Festival
The Union Church of Manila (UCM) is pleased to extend an open invitation
to Filmmakers to submit their Christian films to the 2nd Metro Manila
Christian Film Festival (MMCFF). The Festival is seeking films which
express our Christian faith through focusing on at least one of the
persons of the Trinity (i.e., God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy
Spirit).
About the Festival
The Metro Manila Christian Film Festival (MMCFF) will be held on
November 3-8, 2009. This event will showcase educational, inspirational
and empowering films.
This Festival seeks to honor Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and in
the process, recognize filmmakers whose projects expound on Christian
teachings and advancing Christian values and integrity through the
medium of film. The Festival will be a celebration of the artistic
gifts of Christian filmmakers not only in the Philippines, but possibly
in other parts of the world.
Throughout the Festival, participants and other attendees may watch the
films submitted. This will be a special opportunity to share with those
who have not yet heard the Gospel. This also will be a celebration for
Christians who, through the films, experience the greatness of God and
His love for His children.
Who may join?
The Festival encourages independent filmmakers, as well as students and
amateurs to submit their films and video productions to the Festival and
be given the opportunity to be specially recognized through the"Gideon's Flame Award".
The attendees of the Festival will also have an opportunity to interact
with and meet other filmmakers and producers. Participants may present
their films in person if possible. (Not required).
What is the "Gideon's Flame Award"?
The "Gideon's Flame Award" is a recognition given to the winning
entry
at the Metro Manila Christian Film Festival. The award is based on
Judges 7:20 which tells the story of Gideon's faith and of God's great
power in defeating the enemies of Israel. He was a farmer whom God calls"a mighty man of valor" (6:12). He defeated the enemies with only 300
soldiers to follow God's plan. Of all the fifteen men who ruled as
Judges of Israel, Gideon, the fifth Judge, was the greatest, in courage,
in wisdom, and in faith in God.
Attached for your reference are the guidelines for participation in the
Festival. Please send the application form with all the requirements
not later than July 31, 2009. For more details on the Festival, please
