International Film Festival North Hollywood

IFFNoHo is designed to be a launch platform for new films, a nexus for discussion, and an expertly programmed showcase in all genres. The best films share a wonderful combination of substantive story-telling and creative use of the moving image and we invite all of you who are passionate about this collective form of expression to apply.

We will showcase your film for a Los Angeles audience and create exposure for your work in the world's leading movie market. We seek stories that define who we are and reflect what you care about. Stories that engage us and films that entertain and inform, break boundaries, challenge conventions, in all genres, from first-timers to industry veterans. We look forward to showcasing your work April 28 - May 1, 2016 at the NoHo Arts Center, North Hollywood, CA.

IFFNoHo supports the stories of emerging narrative and documentary filmmakers from around the world.

IFFNoHo is designed for the filmmaker experience. We want to give your film the attention it deserves and give you an opportunity for networking with four days and four nights of film screenings, distinguished industry guests, panel discussions and parties.
