The Grand Island International Film Festival is a nonprofit organization with the mission of bringing classic, important and relevant films to Central Nebraska as they were meant to be seen - on the big screen. The group is made of local professionals who share a love of film, want to provide special film events for the community and to have an ongoing dialogue about film and film-makers.

The GIIFys began in 2007. For more on our board, click here.

Films are shown once a month with the season beginning in November and ending in October of the following year. Films are chosen based on several criteria as decided by the board, including their enduring nature, their relevance to the area and their artistic and cultural merits. We look to the public for input as well.

For more information on the GIIFys, e-mail us at info@gifilmfest.org or call (308) 384-6816.

September 16, 2008 - “North By Northwest” - Alfred Hitchock, the master of suspense, outdid himself with this “3000 Mile Chase of Terror!” starring Cary Grant as the everyman embroiled in a fight for his life after he’s wrapped up in a conspiracy. This movie set the tone for literally hundreds of suspense films that came after it, but Hitch did it first, and Hitch did it best. See for yourself.

October 21, 2008 - “The Shining” - All work and no play make Jack a dull boy…or more accurately an ax wielding, homicidal, off his rocker boy in this terrifying classic based on the Steven King novel. Jack Nicholson was never so nuts, Shelly Duvall never so vulnerable and you’ll be murmering “REDRUM, REDRUM” long after you leave the theater. HEEERE’S JOHNNY!!
