Preparing for its fourth event in recent years, a Florida-based international film festival named for Pope John Paul II is looking for submissions that witness to society through compelling beauty and inspiring art.
"John Paul II's emphasis on The New Evangelization recognized the power in the medium of cinema and this festival speaks to his legacy," said Frank William Brennan, the festival's director of film submissions.
He said organizers are looking for "films that inspire us, that is, films that reveal such splendid beauty that we are compelled to breathe in their message, allowing it to transform our thoughts, our feelings and give us something new to exhale into the world."
The next John Paul II International Film Festival will run from April 3-12, 2014.The festival's various submission deadlines run from August 15 through December 6 of this year.
