After 5 successful editions, Pakistan’s first exclusively hybrid virtual film festival returns for its 6th edition. GIFF concentrates on curating the best independent films from Pakistan and around the world, and attracts submissions from the finest independent filmmakers and cinephiles globally.

Founded in 2020 to provide a reliable platform for exhibiting stellar and impactful stories from around the world, with an intentional consideration for films and filmmakers from Pakistan to highlight and support the burgeoning community of storytellers; GIFF has completed 2 online and 3 hybrid film festival editions.

​

But the best is yet to come. We are excited to present the 6th edition in October 2025. Submissions will be made via Filmfreeway. Stay tuned to GIFF social media pages for event and submission dates.
