From finding new favorite places, people, and puzzles, geocaching is full of moments that should be captured on film and shared with the geocaching world. Each year, filmmakers submit a great story about the game we love and send it to Geocaching HQ for review and possible selection as a finalist for the Geocaching International Film Festival (GIFF).

The 2018 GIFF Finalists are...

The Geocaching International Film Festival is an annual showcase of the creativity of geocachers worldwide through the short family-friendly films they submit. Attending a GIFF Weekend event between November 8-11, 2018 is your chance to watch the entire reel of the finalist films from the 2018 Geocaching International Film Festival and earn a souvenir for your profile. 

We will gather at Pizza Inn, 5420 Clinton Highway, Knoxville, at 6 PM for dinner. The movie will begin about 6:30 and runs approximately one hour. Those that would like can stick around for discussion and door prizes afterward. We should be finished about 8:00.

This year will be the first-ever worldwide vote for GIFF People’s Choice Film. After watching the films, go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2018GIFF and vote for your favorite (one vote per Geocaching.com player account). Voting closes Tuesday, November 13, 1:00 PM EST. The winner will be announced in a future Geocaching Blog: https://www.geocaching.com/blog/.
