The NORTHAMPTON INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL (NIFF) is committed to establishing a northeast center for the exploration, examination, and celebration of independent filmmaking. NIFF showcases the works of filmmakers whose films demonstrate quality, innovation, and independence in both form and content.

While the majority of the program is devoted to quality short films and features that do no yet have wide distribution, we will also show the work of independent film professionals who can contribute significantly to our vision for a well-rounded and thoughtful festival program.

NIFF is a gathering place for those seeking alternatives to the offerings of major studios. We believe Northampton is a regional mecca for filmgoers interested in discovering new work and in sharing their reactions and information. Our core audience has an appetite for artistic adventure, intellectual discussion, and originality. In addition to providing a forum for conversation about films and the issues they raise, the Festival is a platform for discussing the broader nature of independent vision in the media. Join us as we celebrate the independents and move towards a new vision for the Festival!
