Galveston Island Film Festival and Conference

The Galveston Island Film Festival and Conference, known as GIFF-CON, was a two-day event at the Moody Gardens 3D Theater in Galveston that screened work by up-and-coming filmmakers and paired screenings with conference programming. Founded by Sherrill Hilton, it gave small cash prizes, trophies and software subscriptions to winners. Its most recent listed edition ran October 5–6, 2024, after about four years. No later edition had been posted when this was checked. It is separate from the newer Indies on the Island festival, also at Moody Gardens.
