TRANSFORMING STORIES

One of the most powerful ways of communication is through story telling, and Jesus used this method to great affect in communicating the gospel of the Kingdom. We are very fortunate to have the Transforming Stories International Christian Film Festival taking place in five cities in South Africa from 15 – 23 October 2010. The festival is presented by Humble Pie Entertainment in association with Cape Town 2010 and the Third Lausanne World Congress.

Transforming Stories International Christian Film Festival (TSICFF) (www.transformingstories.org) is a festival showcasing powerful, faith affirming, evangelistic, transforming stories to the world and the Body of Christ. The power of the media is evident in this day and age, and movies have been a huge part of shaping the culture as we know it. Behind TSICFF is a great vision – to transform cultures through storytelling. No longer will we as followers of Christ allow our world to be poisoned with profanity by media elites. Instead they are encouraging revolutionaries out there to produce stories which can transform our culture into one that will be in line with the Kingdom of God; one of justice, peace, righteousness and love. And to accomplish this mission they are willing to identify and reward talent that is of the highest standards.

What makes this festival so unique is firstly that it is the first International Christian Film Festival to be held in South Africa, and secondly, through the partnership and association in 2010 with the Lausanne Movement – Cape Town 2010, over 4500 international Christian leaders from over 200 nations in the world will be exposed to the winning films. This exposure gives the winning films a truly global reach and aims to inspire these Christian leaders to make use of films to evangelize and transform their communities for the good. Each of these 200+ world regions have been encouraged to submit films to the 2010 festival as well as future festivals. TSICFF is not only a film festival, its part of a global revolution, encouraging film makers to produce films that will transform communities for the good!
