About the Festival

Do you have an inspirational or CHRISTIAN faith-based film that will leave the viewer encouraged, uplifted or in a place of retrospection? Whether it's a short or feature film, animation or a mini-film, we want your film!

Please note however, that the festival takes place on a church property, therefore NO PROFANITY, NO NUDITY, NO HORROR OR INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT WILL BE ACCEPTED.

INSPIRED FAITH IS ALL ABOUT INSPIRATION! AND IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FILMS!!

The three-day festival begins with a welcome party will screen short films, feature films and documentaries from around the world, that inspire hope, encourage dreams, and tell stories about courage and faith in the midst of challenges.

ON Awards Night, we will have winners in all categories plus a special award for Best Female Director/Filmmaker. There are also a host of special awards such as the Inspiring Missions Awards and the coveted Inspired Faith Award for the top film.

Categories are: Mini, Short, Middy, Feature, Student, Documentary and Animation.

Inspired Sisters!!! Give your faith-based and inspiring films an audience. We will honor women filmmakers, directors and/or producers with a Best Female Filmmaker/Director award dedicated just to recognizing the contributions of women filmmakers to the industry.

Inspired students!!! Students are encouraged to submit their short films for consideration.

Inspired Animation!!! We would love to see an inspirational story in animation. Remember, children's stories can be inspiring too.

Inspired Faith is produced by BarriVIsion Films & Productions, Inc., producers of family-friendly and faith-based films and television programming. The festival is sponsored by BarriVision Films and Redeemed Christian Fellowship, where it will be held.

  • Wonderful job by the Inspired Film Festival team. Great communication and flexibility in quickly shifting gears. When it became apparent that Covid was going to present problems, the IFFF team, did a marvelous job transitioning to a virtual festival and communicating to each of us how we can still be involved. Thankful for them and all of the other nominations. Also appreciated the virtual award show. Thank you IFFF for all of your work and commitment. And thanks for the Excellence Award for our short film SORRY! Blessed to be a part of your festival.

  • Always great communication and marketing for the event. They did a wonderful job of switching over to a virtual festival in spite of all the COVID-19 challenges. Our film LILLIAN was honored to win The Director's Award and I am personally humbled to have won the Best of Fest: Female Director.
