The NVIFF (Non Violence International Film Festival) is a celebration of artistic expression where the subject matter and or themes are encouraged to celebrate and explore the human spirit as well as ideas and concepts of Non Violence in all forms.
The Festivals mandate is to screen films that educate, challenge, inspire and entertain us through documentaries, animated and live action films without promoting violence or discrimination of any kind.
NVIFF has a student level of film submission and exhibition. In conjunction with local secondary and post secondary facilities, students, teachers and the NVIFF will select and screen films submitted by students from all over the world.
"It has been a real pleasure and an incredible honor to have been able to bring so many great local and interational films to Waterloo Region over the years. Looking to the future, we developed our student program, where we hope to engage youth about Non Violence and help grow their view of the world through dynamic storytelling and cinema."
Steve Cross - Festival Founder and Director.
