GIFF 2025!
Are you asking yourself, "What is a GIFF?"
GIFF is a worldwide contest for the best short film about Geocaching.
GIFF 2025 includes an hour of carefully selected finalist films made by geocachers for geocachers.
For several years Groundspeak has invited geocachers to make and submit creative, short films about geocaching. Tonight's event is an opportunity to view the films of the finalists for 2025's Geocaching International Film Festival.
It all started when…
The Geocaching International Film Festival (GIFF) began as part of the 2013 Geocaching Block Party at Geocaching HQ in Seattle. Screened in a nearby park, the first GIFF Event was a hit with attendees. So, we decided to do it all again for the 2014 Geocaching Block Party.
As anyone who visits Seattle knows, rain is always in the forecast. In 2015, all of the finalist films were ready to go when the first raindrops began to fall. But the GIFF team came up with a fabulous alternative; they cancelled GIFF in the park and allowed geocachers to host GIFF Events to show the film reel in their own communities around the world.

The event will take place in the fellowship hall. As soon as you enter the building take a right down the hallway.
This GIFF event is two hours long. You do NOT need to be here the whole time. If you like, you can come just the last hour of the event where the short films will be showing. Or just come during the first hour. The choice is yours.
The first hour will be just a meet and greet. Come and share stories or even some advice on caches your having trouble with. There will be popcorn and pop available to have during this and also during the movie. Only during the first hour of the event, we will sno cones available. Popcorn only of what's left during the movie. I'm doing this for less noise and distractions during the short films.
Also new this year! Graywolf5, Vel, is giving away at least three containers to hide. An ammo can, a LBH with stamp included, and something else. These will be given away during the first hour in a drawing. I also will have extra regular containers for anyone that wants one.
OH BOY! A lot of new things this year! Maybe a tag or two will pop up during the first hour of the event. Will it be a drawing or will it be a race to first to find it? You'll never know until the day of the event when they get published.
Here are the two choices of what the geocoins look like during this game. Sign up at Snag the Tag if you haven't already.
