Gary International Black Film Festival

The Gary International Black Film Festival (GIBFF) is Gary’s hometown cultural event that supports community building by bringing audiences and artists together through film. This cultural organization presents films from independent filmmakers, panel discussions, matinee screenings for middle and high school youth, and in-depth chats with filmmakers, industry professionals, and local community leaders. The festival is run by a committed core of community volunteers who work year-round to curate films and raise money to support our cultural heritage.
