Interfaith Film Festival & Student Film Competition
On April 12th, 2015 New Vision Partners hosted our Second Annual Youth Film Competition and First Interfaith Film Festival at All Saints Church in Pasadena, where we screened short films by local filmmakers along with high school student films created along the theme "For the Common Good". We showed "American Made" by Sharat Raju, which was about a Sikh American family whose car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, and "The Foolishness of God: A Forgiveness Journey with Desmond Tutu" by Karen Hayes, a documentary following Desmond Tutu around the world. We also screened "The Belief," an animated short about war, by Iranian filmmaker Amir Vahedi and presented the short with the World Cinema Humanitarian Award.
The winners for our 2015 Student Film Competition are as follows: Maisune Abu-Elhaija received 1st Place and a $1000 scholarship for her short film "#ForGood", Ishaan Jain received 2nd Place and a $500 scholarship for his short film "A Donation of Tolerance", and Farah Ali received 3rd Place and a $250 scholarship for her short film "Making a Difference." Honorable mentions to Noor Said for her film "For the Common Good" and to Alanis Galang, Evan Hansen, and Zehra Siddiqui for their film "The World of Interfaith."
