Why not be progressive?

NIFF is the first ever film festival to offset the carbon emissions of our filmmakers flights and cars at our 2020 drive in cinema experience during covid.

NIFF will never wait for someone else to lead the way. Instead, we are already a torch to follow in the march towards gender equality and representation. NIFF proudly highlights issues of diversity within the film industry and guarantees distribution to all of our filmmakers.

We went even further in our pledge for a sustainable future. NIFF has partnered with Cool Effect to climate compensate for the CO2 equivalent of one transatlantic, roundtrip flight per film in our official selection 2019 and for more than the capacity of all cars at our drive in festival 2020.. Additionally, we are proud to express that we provided a climate-smart, 100% plant-based menu for NIFF 2019. Always presented with re-recycled material and no plastic at our festival. If not us, who? If not now, when?
