For the last 5 years, GIFF has been providing filmmakers a chance to reach out to a global audience and showcase their talent internationally.

The 2025 edition is imminent, and GIFF is eagerly awaiting the submissions of your films. And we are looking forward to riding the waves of emotions brought forth through your remarkable stories.
