These are the adjectives that describe the films that play in the minds of tomorrow’s great filmmakers. Greenwich Film (GIFF) celebrates these gifted artists annually and promotes Greenwich, Connecticut, as a film and visual arts epicenter. GIFF’s year-round events help to cultivate a burgeoning visual arts community in Greenwich and around the world. GIFF was founded by Carina Crain, Colleen deVeer, and Wendy Stapleton to bridge the worlds of film and philanthropy. The Festival features a variety of events including film premieres, panels, networking receptions, parties, special events and more.
