The Greenwich International Film Festival (or GIFF) is a non-profit organization that celebrates the visual arts in Greenwich, CT, with an annual film festival in June and supporting events throughout the year.[1] The Festival, located in downtown Greenwich, features film screenings, premieres, events and parties showcasing filmmakers, panel discussions, and an award ceremony.[2] The Festival focuses on "socially conscious" films, acting in partnership with nonprofits.

The four-day Festival features 60+ domestic and international film premieres and screenings[3] educational panels and workshops,[4]

The inaugural Festival took place from June 4–7, 2015, and multiple events were hosted prior to that date, beginning with a March 2, 2014 launch party covering the 86th Academy Awards.[5] In addition to the annual Festival, GIFF hosts year-round screenings of socially conscious films.[6]
