CFA: 7:15 P.M. - 10/24

Doug Phillips, President of Vision Forum Ministries, is giving a talk entitled The Vision of Independent Christian Filmmaking (see event schedule below). He mentions that the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival has been mentioned among secular film festivals by Variety magazine. The reason? The SAICFF is the only Christian film festival to comprehensively, and with excellence, equip and network Christian filmmakers and to encourage them in their work by giving them an outlet and an incentive (i.e. the $10,000 grand prize for the festival's top film).

Mr. Phillips has also recently purchased an iPod Video, which he showed us students. His point? The way people watch movies is changing. Christians must have foresight and take advantage of changing technology. That admonition in itself sets the SAICFF apart from nearly all Christian events targeted to filmmakers.
