Monadnock International Film Festival
Vision
Our vision is to bring the community together and highlight the local, regional and international films and filmmakers that inspire, engage and expand our worldview.
Named “Up and Coming Film Fest” by New Hampshire Magazine, the Monadnock International Film Festival (MONIFF) showcases high-quality, independent cinema every year in the beautiful Monadnock Region, known for its vibrant arts culture and Mt. Monadnock, one of the world’s most climbed mountains. MONIFF features award-winning films on the festival circuit, domestic and foreign, along with premieres of regionally produced films by New Hampshire and New England filmmakers. The festival’s highlight every year is the presentation of the Jonathan Daniels Award, given to a filmmaker whose work fuses social and/or political awareness with artistic excellence and encompasses Jonathan Daniels courage by telling stories of hope, redemption, and triumph of the human spirit.
