CLIFF2026 – Christian Life International Film Festival

The Christian Life International Film Festival is a festival that touches and teaches the audience with meaningful productions.

A film festival of clean and meaningful films.
The main criteria of selection are simple:
clean, beautiful, fun and with great message.

It is NOT mandatory to be religious or mention anything about God or Jesus.
We encourage a lot comedy and uplifting productions, but we are open to all the genres.
Our audience loves to laugh and have their spirit lifted up.

FOR AUDIENCE:

There will be productions from all over the world and the audience will have the chance to enjoy short films, animations, music videos, AI films, documentaries and feature films.

The main language of the festival is English and that’s because it’s an International Film Festival.
All the foreign productions will have English Subtitles.

The first 6 editions of the festival were produced in Canada.
This edition is in Romania and maybe in the future we’ll be in another country.
So, this might be an unique opportunity for you to attend such an event.

The audience will have an amazing experience because, as we said, this is a festival that teaches and touches the public, the individual, with the beautiful messages of the international productions that are being submitted to be screened during the festival.

One aspect that the public will love is the fact that everyone gets to participate in ranking the screenings so they get on the podium and receive our festival recognition for their talent, passion and work.
