An annual event envisions with Bridging Diverse Culture through Cinema.

Nepal America International Film Festival (NAIFF) is an annual film event organized by Nepal America Film Society, Inc., a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization based in Maryland, that brings together film enthusiasts from Maryland and greater Washington region including filmmakers, volunteers, community leaders, film and community organizations, businesses and companies of both Nepali, American, and global origins.

Since 2017 the Film Festival has built a unique reputation as an emerging platform for filmmakers with Nepalese background along with other International, American, and global diasporas. The Film Festival is dreaming a huge platform in the greater Washington to engage with audience members, artists, and filmmakers for bridging cultural diversity.

The film festival will take place from 28-30 June 2019, in Maryland, Washington DC metro area, and showcases all genres of films including feature length, documentaries, animation, experimental and shorts. Films from Nepal, America, Asia, and Europe will be screened at the festival. We also partner with Global Peace Film Festival Florida for the Sidebar section. 

We're looking forward to the 9th Annual Maryland International Film Festival-Hagerstown. Rescheduled Dates- August 28-30th, 2020

The Maryland International Film Festival - Hagerstown, is organized by filmmakers and marketing executives who understand the power of film and support the talent of the independent filmmaker. Our goal is to fill theaters to capacity, encourage the development of filmmaker networks including media, distribution and the association with other artists. MDIFF - Hagerstown, believes in the importance of giving back to the community and will be donating a portion of the proceeds to charities around the globe.
