Welcome to The 180° Film Festival! This is a new, innovative concept that the Council of Churches is excited to bring to our community that will directly benefit our community. This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, October 9th at Remington’s on Republic Road.
The Challenge of 180°
Churches, youth groups and independent organizations are invited to create a 3-minute (180 second) film choosing one or more of the counter-intuitive teachings of Jesus as the subject of your film. The 180 challenge turns the worldly paradigm of possessions, power and prestige upside down. The teachings of Jesus are rich in counter-intuitive thinking. A few examples include if you want to be great, you must be a servant of all; those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it; blessed are the poor; the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. There are countless teachings that can be interpreted with your creativity. Choose one or more of these teachings of importance or one or more that really exemplifies the mission of your organization.
Winning the Challenge – $2000 Prize for 1st Place!
The top ten films will be selected and will be premiered at the event. The top ten films will be selected by an independent panel of judges based upon creativity, content and incorporation of random element. The final winner will be voted on by the attending audience the evening of the event. The film with the most votes will win $2000!
