This May, the spotlight will be on faith-based and family friendly films as the 11th Annual International Christian Film and Music Festival (ICFF) takes center stage in Orlando, Florida. Running from May 3rd to May 6th, 2023, the event gathers Christian filmmakers and artists worldwide to showcase their talents and share a message that matters. As Marty Jean-Louis, Executive Director for ICFF, puts it, “Our goal is to shine a spotlight on some excellent Christian and family films and music that might not always get the attention they deserve and gives these artists a platform to share a message that matters.”
The festival, founded in 2011, has since grown to become one of the largest Christian film and music festivals globally. Hosted at the Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive, the four-day event features 42 speakers, 13 sponsors, and 207 sessions, including film screenings, seminars, music, networking opportunities, and an Oscar-style award ceremony.
Filmmakers and musicians can submit their faith-based or family oriented films, documentaries, and music to the ICFF. A panel of judges then selects the winners for over 70 awards presented during the event’s award ceremonies. In addition, the festival’s rich lineup includes short films, student films, and TV shows, as well as seminars on various industry topics.
One of this year’s highlights is the Vibes and Glory Concert on May 3rd, featuring Canon, V Rose, Roy Tosh, Tommy Royal, and Kelly Flores. Other exciting events include:
- A women’s empowerment seminar.
- Audition opportunities.
- Workshops with industry professionals such as stunt and designer James Sang Lee and social media expert Hailey Julia.

Baldwin’s dedication to faith-based films has made a significant impact on the genre, and his recognition during the festival highlights the importance of his work.
In addition to Baldwin’s presence, the festival is excited to announce that Super Producer Rodney Jerkins will be attending the event. Known for his work with prominent artists such as Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber and other well-known artists in the music industry, Jerkins’ participation is a testament to the festival’s growing influence and reputation. Attendees can look forward to learning from his extensive experience and networking with him during the event.ICFF offers a unique opportunity for Christian filmmakers and artists to reach new audiences, secure distribution deals, and win prizes.
