An IMDb Qualifying Festival
VERY IMPORTANT: All written work, such as screenplays, must be submitted to the
appropriate category. DO NOT submit any written content to categories designated for film/video, such as drama, art-house, etc. Doing so will result in your submission being rejected.
Please DO NOT submit a film or video to the screenplay or written medium categories; they will also be rejected.
We hire experienced readers and judges for all textual content, but they do not assess films.
We hire skilled video reviewers who will not assess written materials.
Screenplay and Novel (ALL WRITTEN MATERIAL) awards will be announced a week or two after the official festival awards notification. Evaluating screenplays or novels is much more time-consuming for judges than judging films. This is due to the usual last-minute influx of submissions, reading lengthy scripts or novels, and having the judges discuss their findings in a forum.
From the creators of the "Depth of Field International Film Festival," "Docs Without Borders Film Festival," "WRPN.tv Women's International Film Festival," "WRPN.tv Screenplay Competition," and "LGBTQ-Unbordered International Film Festival," among many other highly successful festivals, all under the umbrella of the "WRPN.tv Entertainment Network," we bring you the "Religion Faith International Film Festival."
Faith- and family-based movies are becoming more popular in the movie business. Many directors are making movies with themes and messages related to religion and family. We created a religious film festival open to all faiths to showcase and award these movies. RFIFF provides opportunities for filmmakers to share their works with audiences who appreciate faith- and family-driven content
In today's world, where the concept of family is evolving, it's essential to have events that cater to a diverse audience. One way to do this is through RFIFF. We live-screen our Best of Festival winners and online-screen Best of Show, Outstanding Excellence, and Excellence winners on our network, WRPN.tv (Optional)
We accept films from around the world that show respect for different cultures, traditions, and values, while bringing people together.
Besides entertaining audiences, RFIFF provides education opportunities.
Faith— and family-based films have increased recently, with more filmmakers exploring religious and family themes and messages through their movies. Several factors have contributed to this trend, including a rise in the number of people who want to watch inspirational movies, technological advancements that make it easier and cheaper to produce high-quality movies, and a greater acceptance of faith-based content in mainstream media.
Opportunities for sub-category awards include cinematography, score, original concept, direction, SFX, acting, editing, and many more!
RFIFF and distribution colleagues guarantee distributor review for top winners in major categories.
"Best of Festival Award: Presented to an outstanding entry from among the Best of Show
Winners in each production type."
We screen only Best of Festival winners.
Our screening event is designed to collect audience reactions, which our distributors will use to inform their decisions. We don't conduct after-screening networking parties or seminars.
