Lumenocular Objective

LSVF seeks to promote video that challenges and illuminates.  In keeping with the Spring Arbor University Department of Communication and Media’s mission, we promote works on video, both narrative and non-narrative, that is Credible, Christian, and Creative, done by individuals who seek to Produce, Publish and Perform.  The video festival does not aim to be exclusionary of non-Christian work or viewpoints.  Submissions from artists of diverse practices and experience are welcome.  The screening committee reserves the right, however, to deem some material inappropriate for an on-campus screening.  We seek to celebrate work of high quality craftsmanship, artistry, and storytelling throughout the region and the CCCU (Council for Christian Colleges and Universities).
