Welcome to the Gloucester Independent Film Festival!
We aspire to promote, recognise and support independent filmmakers by providing a community and opportunity to network with other emerging industry talents. Bringing us all together to connect, learn, and grow.
We welcome submissions from a range of genres and formats including short films, features, documentaries, animations, and screenplays.
Why choose GIFF? 🎥
Not only are we aiming to create a community to help and celebrate independent film-makers and their creations, but we aim to establish personal relationships with our submitters, as we always enjoy the opportunity to view your works, be able to celebrate your accomplishments in film, but most importantly help where we can!
EVENT DATE: 05/10/2024 at Gloucester Guildhall

How We Judge Your Project ⚖️
Your submissions are viewed by an initial jury that rates each submission on various categories, including creative ability, ingenuity, pacing, skill, and level of production. This helps them to decide which submissions make it into the final stage where the jury will re-watch the selected submissions to make sure we curate an outstanding line-up.
