Genesis International Film Festival (GIFF) is not just an international short film festival, but a global platform dedicated to showcasing and nurturing creative cinema talent.
To push this envelope further, GIFF actively promotes the films of its victorious talents in a variety of countries, ranging from the Americas' majesty to Russia's rugged charm, China's immerse tradition, Reunion's tropical allure, Chile's scenic splendors, Brazil's vibrant soul, Greece's ancient elegance, India's cultural wonders, and Turkey's historical marvels.
Besides connecting these talented authors with film screening platforms, streaming services, and TV channels, GIFF is also instrumental in organizing international film screenings that reach audiences worldwide.
We carry forward the tradition of inviting our top-performing participants into our festival jury. This approach ensures a seamless transition between the festival's seasons while also promoting the festival on a truly global platform.
GIFF's core mission revolves around creating a vibrant platform that showcases each participant's unique artistic perspective, rewarding the finest works with deserved attention, and building a community for creative individuals to exchange meaningful contacts.
We, as organizers, believe in the unique lens through which each person views life and art. With the help of artwork from every corner of the globe, we aim to highlight the immense diversity of art.

But it doesn't stop there! GIFF's winners receive a unique opportunity for their films to qualify for IMDb, the world's most renowned resource for movie, TV, and celebrity content. An IMDb qualification can significantly increase a film's visibility and credibility, enhancing its distribution and recognition prospects tenfold.
Each winner (1 top film) from the GIFF.Shorts, GIFF.Debuts, GIFF.Docu, and National Competitions will receive a statuette and an opportunity for the global promotion and distribution of their film through the festival agency. This opportunity spans continents, reaching Northern and Southern America - namely Brazil, Chile, the United States; Eurasian countries including Russia, Turkey, and Greece; Asian regions of China and India; and the island of Reunion. Meanwhile, other winners will earn laurels, the chance to feature their films at GIFF's international screenings, and receive diplomas or other prizes dependent on their respective nominations.
