Greetings filmmakers, fans, actors and supporters of Christian Films!
Happy 4th of July to everyone, and Independence Day for those of us in the USA. I hope everyone in the States still has all 10 fingers at the end of the day.
Thanks to everyone of you that submitted your projects to our festival this year. Without you, there would be no festival. We have completed the selection process for this year’s film festival. The 2023 Great Lakes Christian Film Festival (#GLCFF2023) is gearing up for some great events, screenings and networking opportunities.
We are made the final plans for hosting this years festival in Grand Rapids, Michigan this summer. We are excited about the new city in which we will conduct our festival. Dates are August 3-5 and venue is Grace Christian University. Nominations will roll out in a couple weeks. Awards will be presented at the conclusion of the festival.
On July 5th, we will release a new trailer of one of the selections each hour, starting at midnight (ET). You can check out these trailers and teasers of some of the selections for this year below or go to our YouTube Channel. A complete list of the 2023 Official Selections can be found HERE.
We look forward to seeing you all!

The deadlines for the Great Lakes Christian Film Festival have past and the reviewing process is underway. This year we have over 100 films to watch and determine which ones are best suited for our festival. The filmmakers or producers will be notified July 2, 2017 if their film is selected for this year’s film festival. Everyone can Pre-Register Early:
You would think after two years of watching every film it would get easier to select the best of the best. Each year, there have been amazing films which made it extremely difficult to make the selections, nominees and winners. This year is no exception. Reviewing has been in effect since April and we have some potential winners already.
One of the things that is disappointing is when we get high quality, professional projects that could very easily win many top awards, such as the Oscars, Golden Globes, People’s Choice, etc. The problem we’ve had was the content was too adult, and not family friendly, and/or did not meet the criteria as a Christian theme, or faith-based presentation.
