SAG-AFTRA Sponsors GI Film Festival

SAG-AFTRA was a proud sponsor of the 2014 GI Film Festival. Held in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area from May 19 to 25, the GIFF is the first film festival in the nation to exclusively celebrate the successes and sacrifices of military service members through film.

The festival presented films from both new and established international and domestic filmmakers that honor the heroic stories of the American armed forces and the worldwide struggle for freedom and liberty. 

In addition to presenting feature, documentary and short film screenings, the GIFF also presented panel discussions, educational forums and special events including a kick-off cocktail party, Hollywood meet-and-greets, and an awards presentation.
