GI Film Festival 2017 Submissions

Check this out—I found this really cool film festival.

GI Film Festival is held every year in Washington D.C. The festival honors all veterans and creates a space that offers connection. GIFF is an important platform for veterans to connect with like-minded individuals.

I would like to give a special thank you to the founders of the festival, Laura Law-Millet and Brandon Millet. The team who first helps organize and collaborate to create something should always be recognized.

"The GI Film Festival (GIFF) is a 501 c(3) non-profit educational organization dedicated to sharing the military experience in and out of the arena of war.  The festival is the first in the nation to exclusively celebrate the successes and sacrifices of the service member through the medium of film."

Anyone who has a story about human connection can submit to GIFF 2017. Applying to GIFF would help improve the variety of films revolving around real stories that can impact the world and possibly help change it. By submitting to GIFF 2017—it allows more stories that connect to real experiences.







"The GIFF presents films from new and established international and domestic filmmakers that honor the heroic stories of the American Armed Forces and the worldwide struggle for freedom and liberty.  Some of the films screened are voted on by fans.  Others are screened for the first time.  All will in some way express the courage and selflessness of our fighting men and women and the value of their work."



"The GI Film Festival is open to filmmakers of every experience level, from first-timers to veteran directors and producers.  Prizes are awarded annually to winners in three main categories: feature, documentary, and film shorts."

GIFF also offers many other events during the festival. Including Q&A'S, cocktail parties, discussions, etc.
