Movie Time

At long last, the finalists for the 2016 Geocaching International Film Festival have been chosen. On November 3-7, thousands of geocachers will take part in a global geocaching movie night. The GIFF 2016 reel will contain an hour of carefully selected finalist films made by geocachers, for geocachers.
