The Kingdomwood International Film Festival (KIFF) invites filmmakers from around the world to submit films that uplift, inspire, and reflect purpose-driven storytelling.

SPECIAL 2026 OPPORTUNITY FOR SELECT FILMMAKERS
Kingdomwood Founder Audrey T. Littleton has been selected to appear on the INSIDE SUCCESS TV Network, led by Damon John. This feature will highlight her work advancing faith-based and purpose-driven filmmaking, with plans to include a select number of Kingdomwood filmmakers in supporting B-roll footage.
This presents a unique opportunity for selected filmmakers to gain exposure on a national media platform—extending their reach beyond the festival into a broader audience focused on business, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
A PATHWAY TO INTERNATIONAL VISIBILITY (2027 CANNES-AFFILIATED OPPORTUNITY)
Following Kingdomwood’s 2025 presence at the Cannes Film Festival and an invitation to return in 2026 with Pavilion Afronova, select films may be considered for Cannes-affiliated screening opportunities in 2027—offering expanded global visibility beyond the traditional festival circuit.
Note: All opportunities are subject to curation, availability, production requirements, and applicable approvals.

CROWNS IN HEAVEN → CROWNS AT KINGDOMWOOD
Scripture speaks of five distinct crowns awarded to those who live with purpose and faith. In that same spirit, Kingdomwood honors filmmakers who create as unto the Lord—producing works that transcend the ordinary through excellence, intention, and devotion. These distinctions recognize storytelling that reflects faith, perseverance, and lasting impact.
