 The mission of NIFF is to nurture and support a diverse, artistic and cultural experience with a creative, fun and cutting edge boutique film festival that showcases the work of independent filmmakers. NIFF will improve the shoulder-season economics for Naples and benefit the community at large by contributing to film education in Collier and Lee County Schools and by collaborating with other local artists and arts organizations.
The Naples International Film Festival (NIFF) was created by a group of visionary individuals wishing to invoke excitement and involvement in the arts for those who reside in, and visit the Naples area.
NIFF will showcase the finest and most creative cinematic works in the world, while at the same time supporting, organizing and providing an outlet for local filmmakers and film lovers in Southwest Florida.
We invite you to explore our site, submit your films and come out to join us November 2009 for our festival.
