Mission Statement: Using the art of Film to lift the spirit and celebrate who we are as children of God. Envision, Create, Illuminate.
The LDS Film Festival was founded in 2001 by Austrian filmmaker Christian Vuissa, who envisioned a place for LDS Filmmakers to network. As many as 7000 people come to view films with a fairly wide spectrum of religious content to controversial topics of the day, or anything in between.
The LDS Film Festival is NOT closed to only members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Participants of ALL faiths are encouraged and welcomed with no religious prerequisite.
The LDS Film Festival is not endorsed or owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
