From finding new favorite places, people, and puzzles, geocaching is full of Story Worthy Moments. The trick is to capture them on film. On November 6, 2025 at 6:00 P.M. we will begin joining thousands of geocachers and take part in a global geocaching movie nights. The GIFF 2025 reel will contain an hour of carefully selected finalist films made by geocachers, for geocachers. After the viewing we will vote for our favorites.
The GIFF saga continues! As if there weren’t enough reasons to get excited for 2025, the Geocaching International Film Festival (GIFF) is back! Geocaching is full of moments that should be captured and shared with the global geocaching community. Whether you prefer comedies, dramas, or sci-fi adventures, GIFF is an opportunity to enjoy stories (both fictional and real) about geocaching.This year is all about celebration. Not only are we celebrating 25 years of geocaching, but the amazing community that has built this game for a quarter century. That’s why this year’s GIFF theme is “TFTC—Thanks For The Community!”
