in 2020, we conducted a HYBRID Film Festival (Private and Virtual) and it went well. See the Schedule for details. Please be advised, there is a COVID-19 Travel Advisory for NY State: Please, if there are anyone planning to travel here from another state, READ THIS first. https://glcff.com/2020/07/14/covid-travel-advisory-for-ny-state/
We will be planning according to the State and Local government mandates during COVID-19. Christian Filmmakers are on the rise, and as technology advances and is more accessible to more and more people, new outlets are necessary to meet the demand of new Christian Films.
This will be our seventh festival in Buffalo, NY, the gateway to the Great Lakes. Buffalo has a rich history, and many stories to tell. It is in the stage of rebuilding its downtown and renovating historic landmarks. What a great place to begin your journey with your latest project.
We are working out a possible hybrid event, again for 2021, both in doors and virtual. We are working in accordance with New York State, Erie County, and The City of Buffalo to work out the details of our venue options. We will keep you up to date on the details.
We are giving several awards and cash prizes for winners and nominees. Prize amounts will depend on participation. $500 will be awarded to the top film of the festival. Trophies will be given to the top categories. Vouchers and discounts will also be redeemable for future entries and attendances for all nominees.
