Interfaith Film Festival Accepting Submissions

I received an email about an event that I thought some Buffet readers may want to participate in. The folks over at The Pluralism Project have brought to my attention that the Interfaith Film Festival is accepting submissions! Submissions are due on January 31, 2011, which doesn’t leave us with much time to lollygag about. Here’s some details:

This is a showcase, a platform, and a foundation upon which to present your religion and beliefs in a good and positive light. The InterFaith Film Festival collects and shares stories about religious experiences that inform and inspire, whether religiously specific, inter-religious, secular, or otherwise.

What They Wants from You:

We invite you to contribute short films, with a duration of less than ½ hour, that inform and inspire, including: amateur or professional videos, documentaries, short stories, fables, lectures, sermons, parables, comedy, interviews, speeches, animation, slide shows, variety programs, musical performances, poetry readings, Scriptural recitations/chanting, and additionally; (you are also welcome to enter feature films longer than ½ hour, and we may post links to these films).

How the System Works:

All entries and selections are made in good Faith and on the honor system.

You can upload one or more entries through your own YouTube account, and then send us an email at ifff2011ce@gmail.com with:

1.) your notification of entry or entries to the IFFF 2011CE,
2.) the link to each entry on YouTube,
3.) your designation of the specific religious/secular affiliation or affiliations or inter-religiousness of each entry, and
4.) your synopsis, of 100 words or less, of each entry.

Instead of creating your own YouTube account, you are welcome to log into the YouTube account, “UndergroundGriot”, with the email address, undergroundgriot@gmail.com , and password, “interFaith”, and upload entries through the “UndergroundGriot” YouTube account, and proceed with steps 1.), 2.), 3.), and 4.).

All entries are screened for appropriateness before inclusion within the InterFaith Film Festival in April 2011.

You may remember that back in July I made sure to tell you about The Pluralism Project’s photo contest. If you go here you can see the winners that were announced in September.

If any readers decide to enter, definitely let the rest of us know so we can cheer you on!
