    A very pleasant experience. Thank NICFF for giving this documentary, which is about the spiritual state of a Chinese Christian during the last 100-plus days of her life, the opportunity to be showcased.

    We are honored with our recognition as a "Finalist" from the Nieves ICFF and grateful for their kind encouragement of our film. Thank you very much to all involved from "Faith and The Christmas Star." An excellent experience in every regard.

    I had a great experience participating in this festival. The notification process went exactly as advertised and it is run by like minded followers of Jesus. Win or lose, to trust the process is of utmost importance in something like this. Thank you, NICFF.

    Nothing to brag about here. Very limited communications, there was only an online awards ceremony for a half hour. No screenings of nominees. Awards: A digital jpeg emailed to first place or best of.

    I don't know why they call this a film festival. Anyone can do this. Perhaps folks have forgotten the true meaning of a film festival and need to revisit the definition.

    A film festival is a gathering of films screened at a venue, usually in a single city. Film festivals are often held annually.

    Purpose
    Showcase films: Film festivals showcase a variety of films, including documentaries, animated films, short films, and feature-length narratives.

    Provide feedback: Filmmakers can get feedback from audiences and other attendees.
    Network: Film festivals provide opportunities for filmmakers, distributors, and critics to meet and discuss film.

    Award films: Film festivals often include prizes for films in various categories.
