Greenwich International Film Festival (GIFF) is proud to announce that our 2024 Changemaker Honorees will be Golden Globe and Emmy-winning comedian Jerry Seinfeld and Jessica Seinfeld, executive producer of DAUGHTERS, founder of the Good+ Foundation, and bestselling author. The Changemaker Gala will take place on Thursday, November 13, 2024 at L’Escale in Greenwich, CT.Proceeds from the event will support the Children’s Museum of Manhattan Family Connections program, which reunites parents incarcerated on Rikers Island and their children for an afternoon of play and learning at the museum. This first-of-its-kind national model is designed to strengthen parent-child bonds, reduce the trauma of separation on the child, motivate parents to improve behavior in custody, and reduce recidivism.

Past honorees include Lin-Manuel Miranda, Eva Longoria Baston, John Legend, Ashley Judd, Renée Zellweger, Christy Turlington Burns, Freida Pinto, Trudie Styler, Abigail Breslin, Harry Belafonte and Mia Farrow.
