Guam International Film Festival

Guam International Film Festival

Any time is a good time to visit Guam. But if you are a film buff, there is not better time than September when the island hosts GIFF or the Guam International Film Festival.

The annually held Guam International Film Festival showcases independent films from across the world and stays true to the spirit of the original film festivals – that is, to foster the growth of cultural identity and understanding through the art of filmmaking. GIFF aims to unify, celebrate and showcase to the region and the world, the collective experience through the universal medium of film.

So don’t miss the Fall International Showcase coming up this month.

The Guam International Film Festival is a magnet for Academy Award, Sundance and Cannes Palme d’Or winners who come to be part of a cinema event with an eclectic mix of abundant creative talent and international recognition.

GIFF is the only annual festival of its kind in the Western Pacific and is a platform for Asian, American and Pacific filmmakers. In this sense, it truly captures the passion and spirit of indie filmmakers. It also fosters community outreaches, education through festival workshops and offers classes at the University of Guam and the Guam Community College. In addition to building awareness of social responsibility through movies, it also provides opportunities for local artists and emerging filmmakers to flourish through exposure to international cinema and industry related business.
