The mission of the Glendale International Film Festival (GIFF) seeks high-quality films from around the world to screen in its city, Glendale, where independent filmmakers and writers, along with artists and musicians gather to screen their work and get media exposure. The festival aims to give channels to those independent filmmakers who go through many for their films to see the light. It’s worth mentioning that many films in previous editions found distribution on TV and made its theatrical releases.
