Chatham-Kent - July 24, 2013 - This fall, Chatham-Kent will enter the world wide circuit of the international film festivals! Filmmakers from more then 80 countries will be submitting their productions to be screened right here, in our community.

Florin Marksteiner, the Festival Director tells us: "The main purpose of the Festival is to include Chatham-Kent on the film industry map, to boost the community economy and the touristy potential. Beside the economical and social impact, we hope to be able to bring powerful players in the film industry to use our local resources in their productions."

The Festival is a joint venture between Productionmark, local Film Production Company from Thamesville, and the community churches that will be the screening venues for the festival.

CLIFF - The Christian Life International Film Festival wants to be a festival that touches and teaches the audience, a festival that will drive creators to produce clean meaningful films, a festival that will drive audiences from all walks of life and will make the week-end a deep experience that, hopefully, will become a long lasting tradition.

The festival will show Christian orientated productions rated PG with a length in between 5 and 30 minutes. The films will be selected so that every production will move the audience.

CLIFF will be debuting this fall on the 21st of September in Thamesville, Ontario and it will be a week-end event spanned over 2 days: Saturday and Sunday.
