The Globe International Silent Film Festival
"Where Pictures create an international language."

Our goal is to focus on the picture as the basic structure of cinema as an art.

We believe the silent era of cinema (1895-1930) has made the picture and mise en scène richer and more powerful. Although by introducing of sound in cinema we've been passed that era a long time ago but still silent cinema is carrying a great part of avant-garde and artistic films. GISFF aimed to gather, screen and respect these creative films.
