Gideon's Flame Festival AKA Metro Manila Christian Film 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 3-7, 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.
