Submitting your film to the GIFF does not ensure Official Selection or Winning the Award or Laurel.

As we have different panel of judges for each month’s competition, the film submitted to the GIFF for a specific month can be re-submitted at any time for another opportunity.

The films made in languages other than English must have an English Subtitle to avoid Submit Rejection.

The Ganges International Film Festival reserves the right to refuse any entries for our competition.

A Director/Producer/Individual can submit more than one film in a category, and more than one category for a single competition.

You agree to assure and hold harmless the GIFF, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees, and costs of the court) which may be incurred by reason of any claim involving copyright, trademark, credits and publicity.

If a submitted film has been an official selection, the filmmaker will be notified, and the film will be listed on the GIFF website under Official Selection section.

The GIFF require an official poster or trailer, synopsis, and a link to your film. While submitting, please select the category carefully to avoid disqualification. Although, the GIFF Authority reserves the right to re-assign films to the appropriate category.

An applicant’s film will be privately screened to our jury of judges and will not be screened to public initially.

A filmmaker’s submission fee will not be reimbursed after initiating the submission process.

The Film Festival Body may amend these rules and regulations without any prior notice. As per the regulations, every such amendment will be effective immediately. Kindly visit the official website frequently to check for any updates.

All types of entry fees are non-refundable. We request to read all the rules, terms, and regulations to avoid any form of complication in the submission process.
