Finishing the Film: Sound, Music and Picture

"Channel 168" Q&A

• What is special about these films?

  This is a sampling of the more than 1,200 films that have been produced for the 168 Film Project since its inception in 2003. What's special is that they all use The Bible for their inspiration. At the end of each film, and in the film description you can see the verse that was assigned or chosen. Most of the films are "Speed Films" that were shot and edited in a 168 hour (one-week) time span. Others were entered as "Non-Speed" films. Learn about Film Types.

  You too can make a film for the upcoming festival. Production teams of all skill levels are encouraged to participate. Training resources are provided.

• Why should I support 168 and this Channel?

  Your generous donations help keep this resource online and assist in educating anc inspiring new filmmakers on proper filmmaking techniques. These Christian Worldview films will help many in their faith walk. Our mission is to "Change the Media and Change the World."

  Pay It Forward.

• Are the films Downloadable?

  No, the content is protected and can only be watched on the 168film.com website. Also, you cannot embed the films in another website. But, you can share links and please congratulate these talented artists!

• Can I search for a film?

  Use the Search tool, upper right in the browser, and type in the search field. Search for title, producer, genre, Bible verse or descriptive words.

• How do I share a film?

  Simply copy the film's URL from the address bar of your browser and paste it into your post or email. Please remember that films with the "lock" icon require login. Remind recipients they'll need to create an account or "Pay it Forward" to view.

• As a filmmaker, can I post the link on IMDB or other such sites?

  Yes, PLEASE link your film's page to IMDB or other sites. This will help our filmmaker visibility! Just copy the page URL (from your browser's address bar) and use it in your listing. This link will help both you and 168 to grow!.

• Can I show films to my Church Group?

  Yes! Screen for your Sunday School or Bible study class. Use the Full Screen button. High speed internet is requried. Films will not download for offline playback. To discuss a “168 Mini-Festival” screening at your church please contact us.

• Standard Definition (SD) vs. High Definition (HD) Video:

  Prior to 2010, films were delivered in SD, mostly on DV tape. Our friends at Advent Media have uprezzed several of them to HD, and we hope to do more soon. Filmmakers may contact us if they have a new or higher resolution version. Note: Internet connection speed can affect resolution. If a film looks blurry, watch in a smaller window.

• Why is an Access Pass required for Newer Films?

  To preserve filmmaker festival eligibility, films from the past two years are not publicly accessible. Access Pass Holders, 168 Film Project Teams and Write of Passage participants can see the latest with their login. Donors can "Pay it forward" to get an access pass and see all films. By donating, you encourage media creators to use the Christian Worldview as a story backbone like it used to be. Change the media and we will change the world!

• Why are some films flagged "sensitive" and require login?

  Within our content rules, some filmmakers chose to approach sensitive topics that we feel should have parental guidance. Sign in with or create a FREE USER ACCOUNT to watch films with the sensitive label.

• Can I suggest changes to a film listing?

  Yes. If you see a typo or other issue, please let us know.

• Can I make a film?

  Absolutely! Grab your filmmaking friends, appoint a leader (producer), then sign up for the upcoming competition. It can change your life! Learn more here.
