About
The Global Film Festival Collective (GFFC) was established in 2021 by a group of six founders who saw a need for increased regulation in the film festival industry. Our organization aims to provide support and guidance to film festivals that are committed to presenting a professional platform for showcasing the arts. Through the establishment of a sense of community among film festivals, we hope to promote self-regulation and set high standards for ourselves. This will enhance transparency for our audience and ensure that our film festivals are held to a high level of professionalism.
