Nevis To Host International Film Festival

The Nevis Cultural Development Foundation, in partnership with the Community Cohesion Foundation and the Community Development Board, will host the first Nevis International Feature Film Festival (NIF3) from May 3-8 at various locations around Nevis. The festival will provide a unique opportunity to reach a diverse audience and expose Nevis as a cultural destination. NIF3 aims to be a leading competitive showcase of first feature films from around the world, with a particular focus on the Caribbean region and emphasis on the discovery of first film works by new talent and emerging filmmakers. Entries are registered from Belize, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Curacao, Haiti, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, and Venezuela. A blue-ribbon panel of judges has been selected to review the films including well-known German Director Joachim von Vietingham, who will serve as the special advisor to NIF3 and act as chief judge at the festival. More than $30,000 will be awarded in cash prizes for best regional feature, best regional documentary and best regional short, among others.
