About NYIFF

Founded early last year 2016, New York World (International) Film Festival (NYIFF) is a young and vigorous film festival eager to raise the profile of films from all across the globe. NYIFF is rooted in its mission to strengthen the art of cinematic storytelling by celebrating film at an international level and boosting the film industry on a global scale.

NYIFF hopes to discover films that preserve their own angles, speak for those underrepresented or reveal types of philosophies that have not been understood before.

This organization is grounded in the belief that film has the power to incite dialogues between different people, groups and nations, so that multiple perspectives can be understood amongst wide audiences.
