The annual GI Film Festival San Diego brings together filmmakers and film enthusiasts, united through their connections to the military and love for the cinema, to present films for, by and about military and veterans. Films featured in the GI Film Festival San Diego reveal the struggles, triumphs and experiences of service members, veterans and their loved ones. Since its establishment in 2015, the GI Film Festival San Diego has showcased over 260 films created by international, U.S., and San Diego County filmmakers, drawing in diverse audiences numbering in more than 11,000. The festival’s core mission is to bridge the gap between the military and civilian communities, with each film chosen specifically to share a compelling and distinctive narrative. By challenging preconceptions about service and offering multidimensional portrayals of veterans, service members, caregivers and families, the festival provides a platform for service personnel turned filmmakers to present their unique stories on the cinematic stage.
