Eastern Nigeria International Film Festival (ENIFF)
Welcome to the Eastern Nigeria International Film Festival (ENIFF), a dynamic platform for independent filmmakers, artists, and storytellers to showcase their talents in film and digital media. More than just a festival, ENIFF is a year-round hub of creativity that culminates in an unforgettable celebration every November.
We showcase groundbreaking films from around the world, with a strong commitment to empowering female filmmakers and embracing diversity across all genres; from narratives and documentaries to experimental films, animation, and AI generated films.
Beyond screenings, ENIFF is dedicated to shaping the next generation of filmmakers, particularly young African visionaries, through immersive educational programs, workshops, and mentorship. And when the lights dim, the magic continues. Our legendary closing party blends Afro beats, exquisite cuisine, and exclusive networking opportunities with Nollywood’s finest, making it a true highlight of the festival.
Submissions are open! Join us at ENIFF 2025 and share your vision with a global audience. Let’s redefine the future of film and storytelling together.
