Who We Are

"In order to communicate the message entrusted to her by Christ, the Church needs art. Art must make perceptible, and as far as possible attractive, the world of the spirit, of the invisible, of God. "

-Pope John Paul II


The John Paul II International Film Festival is purely modeled after the values and ideals of the late—Great—Pope John Paul II. Our festival features films that uphold human dignity, the sanctity of life, Christian unity, as well as (true) freedom and responsibility. Much like John Paul II, we believe in the power of evangelizing through film by showcasing the beauty, complexity, trials, and triumphs of the human life.
