GIFF.DEBUTS is a standalone contest of the GIFF festival. It accepts entries from students and debutants in the world of filmmaking.
The winners of GIFF.DEBUTS will be shortlisted for the main GIFF festival and screened at the final screening.
Our goal is to create a community of students from different film schools to communicate, collaborate and share their experiences. We also give the chance for emerging filmmakers to show their work to established industry creators. And we give experienced professionals the opportunity to find young talents for collaboration.
Winners will receive laurels, customized statuettes, diplomas or other prizes (depending on the nomination). The best debut/student film will be shortlisted for the main GIFF festival (https://genesisfilmfestival.com).
