Citizen Link carried a nice story on the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival:
Christian film industry alive and well
by Josh Montez
More than 140 Christian films were submitted at this year’s San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. The top honoree received a $10,000 grand prize.
Christian-themed films are being produced all over the world, and many of them came to the festival to show off their artistry. The grand prize went to an exposé on feminism. The all-female cast of The Monstrous Regimen of Women included pro-family leader Phyllis Schlafly, who says the plot centers on the problems with feminism.
“I think the principal problem is the cultivation of an attitude of victimization.”
The Young Filmmakers award went to 17-year-old John Moore for his treasure hunt-style film, Heartstrings. Moore says his film captures the importance of father-son relationships.
“I just put it together mostly because I understand that is the passion of a lot of teachers out there. And, until we can secure the hearts of the next generation, building a Christian worldview is really quite useless because it gets lost in this generation.”
Vision Forum Ministries sponsors the Film Fest. Doug Phillips with the group says these filmmakers are redefining an industry held hostage by Hollywood.
