"Soli Deo Gloria" is Latin for "Glory to God Alone" - one of the 5 "solae" of the Protestant Reformation. The "Soli Deo Gloria" recognition plaque (or SOLI™) will be given to one film from each category that (in the opinion of the judges) best exemplifies the ideal of "Glory to God Alone" and which is produced with excellence.
There are 6 entry categories:
There will be up to 3 "Official Selections" in each category and (although unforeseen circumstances may occur) we will attempt to screen each selection during the festival. Recipients of the SOLI™ recognition plaques will be announced at the festival's "Soli Deo Gloria" Celebration on the evening of Saturday, May 17, 2025.
There is a discounted entry fee for student films. There will be up to 2 "Official Selections" in each film entry category for student films and we will attempt to screen each of these selections at the festival as well. One student film per category will receive a special student SOLI™ recognition certificate and recipients of these certificates will also be announced at the festival's "Soli Deo Gloria" Celebration on Saturday, May 17, 2025.
Confessing that all talent and abilities come from God and knowing that without Christ Christians can do nothing (John 15:5), the ACFF will offer recognition to those cast and crew of SOLI™ plaque recipient films that (in the opinion of the judges) excel in the following crafts:
