We are a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating the art of storytelling and fostering community engagement through film and cinematic experiences. Rooted in the heart of Georgia’s coastal region, we bridge communities by providing a platform for both emerging and established filmmakers to share their stories with the world.

Through our annual festival, film screenings, educational programs, and year-round initiatives, we aim to create lasting connections among filmmakers, audiences, and the greater Golden Isles community. We’re committed to ensuring #NoFilmLeavesGeorgia by showcasing local talent, amplifying the voices of Georgia filmmakers, and ensuring that the state remains a vibrant hub for the film industry, especially in our coastal region.

Our programs, including the Golden Isles Film Society, our overarching brand, the Golden Isles Film Festival (GIFF), and the Golden Isles Film Academy (GIFA), provide opportunities for collaboration, education, and growth. GIFS offers exclusive advanced and community screenings and members-only events, while the Film Festival serves as our annual anchor platform for international, national, and regional films, featuring filmmaker Q&A sessions and networking opportunities for film enthusiasts, filmmakers, and industry professionals. GIFA (Coming Fall 2025) provides workshops and mentorship for aspiring filmmakers, helping to cultivate the next generation of storytellers and workforce development, boosting a new terrain of economic impact.

Your support allows us to continue creating a space where film can bring communities together, encourage creative expression, and foster cultural and economic understanding. Funds raised through this campaign will directly benefit our operations, programming, and outreach efforts, ensuring that the Golden Isles Film Society continues to grow and thrive in its second year and beyond.

Join us in making an impact on Georgia’s film community, and help us continue our mission of promoting creativity, diversity, and collaboration through the power of cinema. Together, we can make sure #NoFilmLeavesGeorgia.
