The CHRISTIAN FAMILY FILM FESTIVAL has partnered 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 licensing agreement as part of their award.
The CTN licensing is separate from our regular distribution awards with our worldwide distributor. Both the CTN TV Awards and our regular worldwide distributor awards are included in the yearly event.
The CHRISTIAN FAMILY FILM FESTIVAL 2023 will take place August 4, 5 and 6! There will be a MEET AND GREET WORKSHOP on August 4 at 5:00 PM. Two full days of screening event will coincide with the oldest festival and town picnic in the United States held in Ellington, NY. Games, activities, fireworks and a parade are part of the event.
Screenings, Q and A, workshop, award ceremony and red carpet photo op, trophies and distribution contracts will be awarded!
The MEET AND GREET on Friday August 4 at 5:00 PM 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 2023! NOW, feature length films over 72 minutes will qualify. The CFFF is a content licensing agent for a leading established distribution company with 20 plus years in the business! Have YOUR dream fulfilled!
Two full days of screenings, with a Q and A following for those filmmakers in attendance, plus the LENSKA workshop! (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!
On Sunday, August 6 an award ceremony will be held with award trophies presented to the winners WITH their distribution deal!
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 2023 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!
NOT ALL OFFICIAL SELECTIONS ARE SCREENED as we are a three day event and have limited screening slots available. ALL OFFICIAL SELECTIONS are AWARD and DISTRIBUTION qualified.
The CFFF has three levels of awards, GOLD, SILVER and MERIT Trophies. 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 GOLD AWARD WINNERS will receive a worldwide distribution deal and the CTN TV licensing award.
