Description
“New Media Film Festival® seemed like an outlier when it started in 2009, with their strange categories, web series, AI, digital comics, now all of a sudden these phrases are the new normal. NMFF always looks to the future, challenging creators, the market, and the audience to discover new storytelling. There are not many festivals pushing the limits.” Oscar Winner Nicolas Reed.

 

Pivoting Online 2025.  In light of the devastating California fires, we are proud to have donated the cost of hosting a live festival and more to charity as well as offering deeply discounted tickets. You can view the online festival from your computer, tablet, or mobile phone.
