Global Impact Film Fest [5th Annual]

GIDC is an independent film festival that focuses on cultivating global outreach, celebrating culture, and supporting non-profit organizations. Our mission is to empower lives by celebrating the power of media for social change. We are showcasing short documentary and narrative films that provoke and inspire social change.
