The Lakes Noir International Film Festival (LNIIF) is an international competitive film event entirely dedicated to Thriller, Noir, and Crime sub-genres (including Italian Giallo, Poliziottesco, and Spy Stories). The festival takes place in the elegant setting of Varese, held within the 18th-century Salone Estense and the Estensi Gardens (known as the "Versailles of Milan"), creating a unique atmosphere of contrast between the natural beauty of the lakes and the mystery of the stories on screen.COMITATO D'ECCELLENZA
