| Explanation | GIFF has a jury for each grant that uses selection criteria to determine the winners of the five cash grants each year. There are five juries (Social Impact, Narrative Short, Narrative Feature, Documentary Short, Documentary Feature). Since these are general purpose cash awards, we do not monitor the use of the funds awarded to the filmmakers. However, GIFF does stay in touch with these charities and continues to provide marketing support to them after the festival. | ExplanationTxt |
