Pakistan's First Digital Film Festival
Founded in 2020, GIFF is a standalone platform for independent filmmaking, creative expression, voicing your thoughts along with immersive entertainment. GIFF will support emerging and established voices, discover award-winning filmmakers, curate innovative and interactive experiences, and introduce new ideas through premieres, exhibitions and panel discussions.
Who We Are?
The GIFF team strives to build a digital space where global filmmakers can discover and be inspired by emotively intricate stories. We believe that good art and storytelling is not just inspirational but a potent catalyst for change.
Workshops
GIFF sense of responsibility towards budding filmmakers and storytellers is to conduct virtual workshops and masterclasses with global filmmakers and artists to tap into the collective wisdom and knowledge base to enhance the learning curve for our audience. Sharing knowledge and creating a global platform for artists is a corner stone principle of our initiative and these workshops proof of our tenacity and our belief in a global artistic platform and community.
Academic Institutions Screening
Educational institutes recognize the educational benefit and effectiveness of the visual medium and yet the ability to capitalize on the interactive mode of learning because of limited resources, especially in a country like Pakistan. In this context, GIFF as a resource hub would like to invite interested institutions to contact us for film and documentary screenings in their institution followed by a Q and A session with students to open up the conversation about stories, why they matter and the underlying need for communication.
Interviews & Discussions
GIFF pledges to expand the conversation about visual arts through interviews and panel discussions with artists across the visual arts spectrum from cinema, fine arts, photography and even dance. We intend to highlight not just these individual art forms but how they can interact and creatively enhance each other.
Advisory Board
The Advisory Board consists of industry professionals from all over the world. Their aim is to support the festival by offering ideas and providing solutions that make the event an enjoyable and enriching experience for both the filmmakers and the audience.
