About Property:
The Naples International Film Festival (NIFF) is quickly becoming the signature film event in Southwest Florida. NIFF’s opening night gala is held at the glamorous Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts. Competition films screen at the Silverspot Luxury Cinema. Silverspot’s intimate setting allows filmmakers to interact with each other and the audiences in a luxurious yet casual setting. NIFF includes panel discussions, Q&A sessions after screenings and a closing night ceremony. Filmmakers are invited to attend the festival, where they will be welcomed by our friendly staff, dedicated volunteers and enthusiastic community. All visiting filmmakers are treated like VIPs and encouraged to participate in festival events such as the director’s dinner, special screenings and to relax in the filmmaker's lounge. Located right on the beautiful Gulf coast, NIFF celebrates film and filmmakers against the gorgeous backdrop of white-sand beaches and warm breezes. In addition to its natural beauty, Naples also embraces the arts with more than 35 galleries, five museums, a symphony and both a community and equity theater.
