GIFT Fest- Grand International Film and Theatre festival or the Grand International Fusion of Talents festival is a platform that helps budding talent blossom, indeed we help grow talent. If you can film, sing, act and dance or even do much more then this is the festival for you!

At GIFT Fest, we celebrate talent as we provide a platform for communication. Performing arts activities in the genres of Film and Theatre allow young people to express themselves through performance, helping them build confidence, communication, and interpersonal skills.

Film and theatre are platforms where people can tell stories in imaginative ways. What's more, with mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones, creating and editing films or stage performances has never been more accessible for a wider population. GIFT Fest welcomes you all!

Our guiding themes this season are; Cybersecurity/Online safety, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the environment.
Your production, therefore, should show internet intrigues occasioned by the pandemic. You can also do productions related to the environment and how conserving the environment is important to humanity. All these tri-thematic areas can be handled in one production or you can choose to handle one theme in one production. For example, the DIY craft and art category can focus on how to recycle items or how to use trash to create treasurable artistic pieces.
