The Garetolia Film Festival (GFF) is an annual event that shows and gives awards to movies of that year. First held in 1999, the event focuses on the best movies of the year, carefully chosen by the Garetolian Screen Actors' Guild (GSAG) every November. Hosts are also decided by the GAG in June. Originally, the festival had four awards: Best Comedy; Best Action; Best Horror; and Best Film, given to one of the winners of the other three categories. Since then, the GFF has added two new awards and replaced one: Best Drama, introduced in 2013; Best Romance, introduced in 2011; and Best Dark Film, replacing Best Horror in 2012. The GSAG introduced a rule in 2006 that requried that all films have a rating of PG-13 or lower, as to keep the event family-friendly; as a consequence, the number of horror/slasher films gradually decreased over time, forcing the GFF to replace the category in 2012.
