“Tree-m Work” GeoBeeps (South Africa)

──What inspired you to create this film for GIFF 2025?

I never would have thought that one day I'd have my own work featured one day!

In 2019, I became friends with a woman in Cape Town, South Africa (I live in Pietermaritzburg, on the opposite side of the country) on an international Facebook group for speech therapists. We decided to meet in person, and I flew to Cape Town to make it happen. I introduced her to geocaching and she was as hooked as I was. Since then, we have either visited each other for geocaching outings in our local areas, or we have met up in a city neither of us live in to get some caches there.

In April 2021, just after lockdown restrictions eased, we met up in Johannesburg to spend the week geocaching. We had a lot of fun, and found some excellent caches, but one stood out in our memories - the one we lovingly labelled Eighty Rand and a Rope.

We got to the location and spotted the cache - a red bison tube high up in the tree. Completely out of reach. My car was too small to hire a ladder. And all we had on us was Eighty Rand, a brand new length of rope, and no ideas. While driving around, I spotted a tree feller truck parked on the side of the road, with a very long ladder on the back. We stopped and chatted to the guy, and we offered him the rope and the eighty rand in cash that we had on us to come to GZ and get the cache down for us. The team of 3 men were very confused when we asked them to unscrew the bison tube, hand it to us to sign the paper, then replace it as found.

The story just stuck with us, and one night, just after GIFF 2025 was announced, I had the idea of using this story for a film. I can't draw, and I don't have the skill or equipment for something requiring acting, but both of us have been cross-stitchers for years and so I figured we could use the one medium we were comfortable with.

──How many people worked on your film, and how long did the production take?
There were 2 of us who did most of the work. We had some people help us with stitching some of the trees and 2 of my colleagues at work helped me with recording some of the sound effects.

We started working on it on 9 April, and managed to finish the stitching around 19 July, and then I needed to take the photos and do the video compilation. In total, it took about 4 months.

──What was the most memorable or challenging part of making your film?
Cross stitching is a notoriously slow hobby. I also had zero animation experience, so I wasn't sure whether all the work would result in something that looked like the movements it was meant to portray.

We had to start working with very little planning because of the tight deadline, so we had to adapt quite a lot as we went along.

By far the most challenging part was getting it all done on time - we were both stitching in every free moment. My frames went with me on road trips, and I stitched while waiting for food at restaurants, and during my lunch break at work. I was so sick of stitching trees by the end!

──Is there a moment in your film that you hope geocachers around the world will notice or appreciate?
This was such an ambitious project! We didn't know what we were doing, and now that we've finished, there is a lot I would do differently to get a smoother, more consistent end result. So it's not perfect, but there is so much love and determination in this film. The final product consisted of 255 individually stitched frames!

I also added in the hadedas (the birds at the beginning) as a nod to anyone familiar with South Africa. They flew over while I was recording door closing sounds, and I decided to add them in because they are such an iconic sound for South Africans!

──Please share a message for geocachers in Japan.
It's amazing to see how far this hobby has spread across the world. I hope that one day I'll get to add a smiley or two to Japan on my geocaching map. Thanks for the community!

“Geocaching Is a Journey“ Defoz (France)

──What inspired you to create this film for GIFF 2025?

I was inspired by…my loneliness I guess! :)

let me explain: I really enjoy riding bike, and I left my familly for 2 days of riding alone. You already know that. I have a small YouTube channel so I know how to film and edit, and filming something for the GIFF was already in my mind. But I have no idea…until the famous ride! When you’re cycling long hours all by youself, your mind is…more creative ! So the scenario came in my mind when I was pedaling!

I decided to shot various parts of my ride during my trip. For the story I’ve no caméra and no tripod… My phone fit perfectly in my mug so I use it to stabilize the phone!

──How many people worked on your film, and how long did the production take?

I was the only one from beginning to end !

The production take… maybe 12 hours !

──What was the most memorable or challenging part of making your film?

The most challenging part was to shot the part with the muggle: I had never acted this kind of humoritic scene before. Editing the scene was challenging: I wanted it to be rhythmic…this is the key of a fun scene !

──Is there a moment in your film that you hope geocachers around the world will notice or appreciate?

The message is the most important… I now live in a city where is not so much caches. 3 years ago I live south of Frabce and there were planty of great caches. So the way I geocache change: now I’m focus on the journey, and not so much in the number of caches I can found in one day.

──Please share a message for geocachers in Japan.

Go find a cache and… ride bikes!

──(yes!). A tip for those who would like to try next GIFF:go!!! My strategy: I watch old GIFF and I understand 3 things: finalists are often humoristics films, they often explain what Geocaching is, they often have a message.

"GIFF Planning" Barucci (Poland)

──What inspired you to create this film for GIFF 2025?

I was inspired by the community. I really love how geocaching brings people together, so I wanted the film to reflect that spirit. I organized three separate events - one for each scene - and anyone who wanted to join could simply show up and be part of it. It felt natural and authentic, and that was exactly the atmosphere I wanted to capture.

──How many people worked on your film, and how long did the production take?

It was a small group of real geocachers. We had around four actors, but I was the main actor as well as the director, responsible for putting the whole movie together. The production happened over the three event days and then continued with editing afterward.

──What was the most memorable or challenging part of making your film?

The most memorable part was definitely seeing the community come together for the filming. People were excited to contribute, and their energy made the process really fun. The challenge was coordinating everything across the three events and making sure each scene worked well both for the camera and for the people participating.

──Is there a moment in your film that you hope geocachers around the world will notice or appreciate?

Yes - the way our film highlights the importance of events in our Polish geocaching community. I think many geocachers around the world will relate to that. Events are at the heart of this hobby, and they're what make geocaching truly special: meeting new people, sharing stories, and building friendships.

──Please share a message for geocachers in Japan.

Please continue doing what you're doing! You create wonderfully creative and playful geocaches. I visited Japan last year - Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, and even Deer Island near Hiroshima - where I found my very first FTF in Japan. It was a bonus to an Adventure Lab, and it was an unforgettable moment. I hope to return one day and explore even more of your amazing caches!

This box can only be opened by showing the "deepest gratitude."

カメラに向かって土下座をする

＜日本ぽいBGM＞

🎥 0:30〜1:30｜まじめな土下座スタート

＜落ち着いたBGM＞

フゥ…と深くため息

→ もう諦めかけてる

カタッ

木箱の蓋が、自然に少しだけ動き開く

Even with your most heartfelt gratitude, it wouldn't have opened any sooner.
