FILM FESTIVALS: SAICFF

(JAN 08, 2009) The San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival kicks off today. There’s an article on the ChristianNewswire.com about it which you can read in full HERE.
(EXCERPT) The Fifth Annual San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival (SAICFF), which begins today in the Alamo City, is breaking new ground for independent filmmakers by facilitating contracts for the semi-finalists and finalists to sell their films via download. The opportunity comes through a strategic partnership between the SAICFF and Behemoth.com, a sponsor of the SAICFF which has agreed to actively distribute independent Christian films accepted as SAICFF semi-finalists through the sponsor’s online download platform.
“For years, independent Christian filmmakers have struggled to find financially viable distribution streams for their films,” noted Doug Phillips, founder of the SAICFF. “We are pleased to announce that an important step has been taken to meet this challenge through Behemoth.com’s download store.”
Here is a teaser trailer for this year’s festival:
