The John Paul II International Film Festival ™ is modeled after the views and ideals of the late pope, whom we affectionately refer to as JP2. The festival will feature films that celebrate life by acknowledging the strengths, struggles, and triumphs we experience when striving to give meaning to our existence. The filmmakers showcased in our festival are filmmakers that have slipped under the radar, filmmakers who are using their talent to give back to the Ultimate Creator. We want to foster and encourage art that brings the Word of God to life. Our festival will give exposure to talented filmmakers from all faiths, united to give the festival’s audience an opportunity to experience the filmmakers’ ultimate expression of their religious beliefs; therefore becoming a part of JP 2’s call for a new evangelization. The festival will be an annual event where families, couples, singles, people of all ages and cultures can experience the power of God through film, music, and communion. The weekend film festival will showcase the latest in faith-based films, and other artistic expressions that support the values and virtues that made JP2 so loved in the world by Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
