Welcome to the
Freethought Film Festival Foundation
Website
The Freethought Film Festival Foundation is a 501(c)(3), non-profit, educational organization. Our mission is to promote reason, critical thinking and freedom of inquiry through the medium of film. Our biggest project to carry out our mission is the production of the International Freethought Film Festival; an annual event that features independent films submitted to us by filmmakers themselves. The film festival is a celebration of having the basic human right to express freethought concepts, and to educate the public on the importance of using reason and science (void of superstitions) to explain our natural world and improve upon the human condition. Our Call for Submissions for our first season is open, and we have narrative and animation categories for features and short films alike. Scholarships will be awarded to student entrants in both the feature and short film categories, whose films best reflect our mission statement.
With your support in patronage, volunteerism and (most importantly as we launch this first season) financial contributions, we will produce an exciting, first of its kind, weekend-long film festival experience that is worthy of pilgrimage. The International Freethought Film Festival will prove to be a breakthrough for a freethought niche in film, in order to establish a new medium for promoting reason, critical thinking and freedom of inquiry. We feel strongly that rationalistic and artistic are not mutually exclusive.
Opening night for the event is Friday the 13th of May, 2011, and will run through Sunday, May 15th. The International Freethought Film Festival will take place at the historic and iconic Tampa Theatre in Tampa, Florida USA.
