The Méliès International Festivals Federation (MIFF) is a network of 29 genre film festivals from 21 countries. With a combined attendance of over 800,000 people, the MIFF is an essential cultural and economic player for fantastic films.
The NIFFF has been an affiliated member of the MIFF network since 2004. It is in charge of organising the Swiss segment of the Silver Méliès for shorts and features. These prestigious awards, granted by the special Méliès jury, are an ideal way to promote fantasy films in Switzerland and Europe. The Silver Méliès competition at NIFFF is cross-sectional.
