Greenwich International Film Festival

About

The Mission of The Greenwich International Film Festival is two-fold: to provide filmmakers with a platform to showcase their work with the goal of finding financing, distribution as well as for providing exhibition opportunities, and to harness the power of film to serve the greater good. GIFF will support OneMinutesJr, a UNICEF initiative, which provides underprivileged children around the world with the tools to make short films in order to have their voices heard and to share their ideas, dreams, fascinations, anxieties and viewpoints on the world.
