		<title>Overcome evil with good: Instead of boycotting The Da Vinci Code, why not promote a Christian movie in the theaters?</title>
		<link>http://www.christianheadlines.com/films/index.php?entry=entry060507-211758</link>
		<description><![CDATA[
<a href="http://unidentifiedthemovie.com"><img src="http://christianheadlines.com/unidentified.jpg" align=left></a>
&nbsp;Thousands of churches are mobilizing to oppose the movie The Da Vinci Code. But  wouldn&#039;t it make more sense for Christians to distribute and support Christian movies in the theaters?
<p>
&nbsp;Recently the Christian movie <b><a href="http://unidentifiedthemovie.com">Unidentified</a></b> opened in six theaters and was the top film in three of the theaters.
<p>
&nbsp;In Unidentified two reporters for Both Sides magazine launch an investigation after a reported UFO sighting near their office. Questions the reporters must answer: Are the UFOs a hoax? Or if they are real, why are they here? Ultimately, the movie is not so much about UFOs as it is about spiritual truth and deception.
<p>
&nbsp;With a limited budget, producer/director Rich Christiano is partnering with Christian radio stations to promote his new film. The radio stations receive a percentage of the box office in return for radio promotion.
<p>&nbsp;While lead actors Jonathan Aube and Josh Adamson appear in their first Christian film project, four actors in the film have appeared in Christian movies. Jenna Bailey in <b>Late One Night</b>, Michael Blain-Rozgay in <b>Believers Among Us</b>, Rebecca St James in <b>Left Behind</b>,  and Lance Zitron in <b>End of the Harvest</b> and <b>Second Glance</b>.
<p>
&nbsp;Unidentified will play in a few theaters during the summer while Rich Christiano prepares for a wider fall release. Churches are also hosting special screenings of the film. If your church is interested in hosting a public screening, contact Five & Two Pictures (lauren@christianmovies.com).

		<title>Christian Film Pioneer Ken Anderson Dies at 88</title>
		<link>http://www.christianheadlines.com/films/index.php?entry=entry060505-010000</link>
		<description><![CDATA[
<center><img src="http://christianheadlines.com/films/images/ka.jpg"></center>
Ken Anderson went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, March 12, 2006.
<p>
Anderson was serving as editor of Youth For Christ&#039;s magazine in the late 1940s when Bob Pierce,the future founder of World Vision, invited him on a mission trip to China. During the trip  Anderson and Pierce produced the documentary <a href="http://www.worldvision.org/sponsor.nsf/child/sponsorship_born">China Challenge</a>.
<p>Soon Anderson joined <a href="http://www.wheaton.edu/bgc/archives/GUIDES/225.htm#3">Baptista Films</a>, a pioneer in the field of Christian film production, where he wrote and directed his first dramatic films.
<p>
In 1949 Anderson moved to Muskegon, Michigan, to establish <a href="http://www.gospelcommunications.org/about/history/">Gospel Films</a>.  His writing skills resulted in at least one new film each year through 1960. Ken and his wife Doris had shared a vision for missions since their early years of marriage. Gospel Films&#039; first overseas dramatic production, filmed in Singapore, was Something to Die For. Then, with a desire to produce films beyond North America, they moved to Warsaw, Indiana, in December, 1960, to establish Ken Anderson Films.
<p>
<center><img src="http://christianheadlines.com/films/images/inhisstepsdvd.jpg" height="143" width="103"> <img src="http://christianheadlines.com/films/images/pilgrimsprogress.jpg"></center>
Ken Anderson Films produced over 200 Christian films including original dramas in many foreign countries. Anderson may be best remembered for Pilgrim&#039;s Progress, produced in 1977.  Featured in this story is Liam Neeson in his first screen role, playing the character, Evangelist. Over 1400 copies went out as 16mm film prints. Other significant films released by Ken Anderson Films include <b>Christiana</b>, <b>Fanny Crosby</b>, <b>Hudson Taylor</b>, and <b>In His Steps</b>.
<p>
After retiring from the Christian film industry, Anderson published the book <b>Where to Find It in the Bible</b> in 1996. More than four million copies have been published.
In 1991 Ken Anderson Films was replaced by <a href="http://intercommedia.org/">InterComm</a>, a nonprofit organization involved in producing additional language versions of many of the Ken Anderson Films international productions. In <a href="http://www.intercommedia.org/newsletter/archive_0306.htm">2005</a> Intercomm reported 262,606 decisions for Jesus Christ from  1,142,986 people viewing movies from Ken Anderson Films.
<p>
