WHAT WE DO
​Safety in creativity
The Global Film Festival Collective symbol signifies that a festival or service is a leader in the film industry and is recognized as such by the global filmmaking community. It is a way for filmmakers to easily identify which festivals and services are held in high regard within the industry.
The Global Film Festival Collective symbol is awarded to festivals that deliver a high-quality experience for filmmakers, offer support to filmmakers, and prioritize transparency and safety. Membership in the Collective is open to film festivals from around the world, but only those that meet our rigorous standards are eligible to use the symbol. This ensures that the Collective symbol is a reliable indicator of excellence for filmmakers seeking out the best festivals and services in the industry.
The Global Film Festival Collective supports its members through a variety of activities, including integrated communications campaigns, networking events, annual AGMs, and research and promotional efforts. We also educate consumers on the benefits of investing in GFFC businesses for both the arts community and the environment. Since 2021, we have been advocating for film festivals worldwide, believing that safety and creativity can coexist.
