The CHRISTIAN FAMILY FILM FESTIVAL is partnering with the Christian TV Network giving filmmakers the opportunity to have their films screened on major cable Christian networks around the country! DVD's are also included for those filmmakers given a distribution contract as part of their award.
The CHRISTIAN FAMILY FILM FESTIVAL 2021 will take place July 30, 31 and August 1! The three day event will coincide with the oldest festival and town picnic in the United States held in Ellington, NY. Screenings, Q and A, workshops, award ceremony and red carpet photo op, trophies and distribution contracts will be awarded!
An opening reception on Friday starts the festival in the regal 1849 Greek Revival house THE ENCHANTED ELLINGTON . Screenings take place in the Carriage House Cinema. A unique, one of a kind, intimate film festival in a historic, country setting bringing you a unique event unlike any you will experience.
FILM DISTRIBUTION AWARDS will be made to ALL winners in the CFFF 2020! NOW, short shorts from 1 minutes to feature length films of 72 minutes and longer will receive worldwide distribution on all digital platforms AND DVD'S (for feature length) in all major chain stores! The CFFF is a content licensing agent for a leading established distribution company with 20 plus years in the business! Have YOUR dream fulfilled!
Three full days of screenings, with a Q and A following for those filmmakers in attendance, plus the LENSKA FILMMAKERS SEMINAR! (Lenska has worked behind the scenes in all areas of filmmaking including distribution.) You will learn things you never heard before and to quote filmmakers at her workshop in NYC in JUNE at the INYFF, "We learned more in Diana Lenska's one hour workshop then in all the years of going to film seminars and workshops throughout the country". You cannot miss it!
In 2018 we introduced OUR trophy! NOT a mimic of the Hollywood Academy Awards BUT the ultimate trophy for a Christian Filmmaker. A gold cross with a Bible and praying hands on a marble base. Beautiful and inspiring!
On Sunday, August 2 an award ceremony will be held with trophies and certificates presented to the winners WITH their distribution contract!
We are a filmmakers supported event and those filmmakers attending will receive priority in having their films screened. Those who attend will have a warm intimate screening with fellowship and networking with other Christian filmmakers in the unique setting for this venue PLUS the powerhouse workshop!
The CFFF 2020 is being held at the same time in Ellington as their historic yearly festival. There will be family activities, games, food vendors, contests, a parade and fire-works! Don't miss it! Our screenings, workshops and events are worked within the Ellington festival activities so you can enjoy both!
The CFFF has three levels of awards, GOLD, SILVER and MERIT certificates. Special trophies for outstanding productions, award laurels AND a chance for your film to be screened throughout Western New York at various churches and venues. Awards will be presented in the CARRIAGE HOUSE CINEMA. ALL AWARD WINNERS will receive a distribution contract!
The CFFF 22020 AWARD CEREMONY will be filmed and award winners will receive a special premiere screening of their winning film during the regular screening schedule of the Carriage House Cinema.
