The Festival

The New Hampshire Film Festival takes place each fall the weekend after Columbus Day in Portsmouth, NH. Our mission is to support the art of filmmaking and to present the best in recent independent cinema from the region, nation and world.

NHFF unites professional filmmakers and screenwriters with industry experts, students, educators, and film lovers for an inspiring, four-day celebration of independent film through panels, workshops, screenings, and networking events.

The New Hampshire Film Festival program is now available online. Plan your weekend, meet our jurors, panelists and sponsors, and learn more about Portsmouth, the city NHFF calls home. Until the festival opens, the program is only available online, so take this opportunity to choose your films and get a sneak peek and all the exciting events we have planned for this year’s festival.
