After the resounding success of the 22nd edition – with record attendance and lots of debut feature winners – the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival (NIFFF) is kicking off its autumn season activities. Here’s an overview.
For the 7th year in a row, the NIFFF had the honour to grant the Fantastic Swiss Award to the best genre film in the Swiss shorts competition at Fantoche – Baden International Animated Film Festival. The award was given to the animated gem CREVETTE from Sven Bachmann, Noémi Knobil, Jill Vágner, and Elina Huber. It will be part of the shorts programme at next year’s NIFFF (5-13 July, 2024) in Neuchâtel.
Shown as part of the NIFFF’s 22nd edition (30 June-8 July 2023), the following films are benefitting from a release in Swiss cinemas:
The NIFFF is gearing up for its 23rd edition, and is looking to fill two fixed-term positions in the artistic department: a film programmer, and a NIFFF Extended programme coordinator.
Pierre-Yves Walder, General and Artistic Director, will be among the guests of the 16th FEFFS (Festival Européen du Film Fantastique de Strasbourg). From September 22nd to October 1st, he will be part of the Crossovers competition jury, which focuses on new dark comedies and films noir on the fringes of fantasy.
The travelling NIFFF ON TOUR programme will be back soon in a cinema near you.
