The International Christian Film & Music Festival (ICFF) is back and bigger than ever.
From April 30 to May 3, 2025, faith-based filmmakers, musicians, and creatives from all over the world are gathering in Orlando for what’s now considered the largest Christian media event in the game. And honestly? It’s more than just a festival. It’s a movement.
If you enjoy Christian movies or making meaningful connections, this is where you need to be. Here’s why:
1. The Forge Panel Will Be One for the Books
The Forge was a frontrunner for new Christian films last year. Now, the cast is coming together for a panel to dive even deeper into the movie. Whether you’re a writer, director, actor, or just love excellent storytelling, this is a rare opportunity to hear from the people who brought this movie to life.
2. William McDowell Receives the First-Ever Music Legend Award
Pastor and Grammy-nominated worship artist William McDowell is being recognized with the first ICFF Music Legend Award in the history of the ICFF. This is sure to be a powerful moment to celebrate faith, longevity, and impact through music. For anyone in the music ministry or creative arts world, this moment alone will be a highlight.
3. Workshops and Networking with Industry Insiders
With 25+ workshops and sessions, ICFF is where Christian creatives go to grow. We’re talking about. If you’re an aspiring or veteran filmmaker, there’s an opportunity to take part in:
- Screenwriting labs
- Faith-based film production tips
- Music licensing 101
- Distribution and marketing panels
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to level up, these sessions are designed to equip and connect Christian filmmakers with the right people. There is nothing like bringing a room of believers together who are willing to help each other win big for the kingdom.
4. Red Carpet Moments + Major Premieres
With all of that being said, the festival is from business only. We can expect to see glamorous red carpet events, meet-and-greets, and exclusive screenings, with over 100 faith-based film screenings from around the world.
5. This Is Where Faith and Creativity Collide
At its core, ICFF is about more than just applause. It’s about alignment.
Faith-based art can be excellent, relevant, and influential. This festival is a space where you don’t have to explain your values because everybody gets it.
