TESTIMONIALS

“Both a laboratory and a platform for a burgeoning film genre, the NIFFF has succeeded in its seemingly impossible endeavor. And the BCN is proud to have contributed to the rise of this now essential event in the Swiss film scene.”

BCN

“It’s quite rare: Le Temps was a partner of the NIFFF in its early years and has followed every edition of the festival without interruption, including the 2020 special edition. The NIFFF immediately struck us as interesting for at least three reasons. Its undeniable contribution to cinematic diversity, since almost all the films presented are not released in Switzerland. Its role as a meeting place for enthusiasts and artists, with the lively discussions it makes possible. And of course, the sheer enjoyment of those days and nights spent discovering everything from fantastic auteur films to improbable horrors from all corners of the world .”

Le Temps

“Our partnership with the NIFFF allows us to reach a portion of our target audience in a fun way, and to affirm our support for Neuchâtel’s cultural life.”
