Cinemas lend their sponsorship, while industry experts participate on panels and in workshops.
Films selected by NHFF enjoy being part of a world-class film program, and filmmakers partake
in educational workshops, roundtable discussions and gala after-parties. Films screened at
NHFF have gone on to receive critical acclaim and national distribution. Last year's Grand Jury

experts, educators, avid movie-goers and film connoisseurs from around the globe for a highly
interactive weekend of nationally recognized and undiscovered gems.
