The Festival

The New England Ibero American Film Festival is a ground breaking film festival dedicated to the promotion of the Hispanic culture through the exhibition of feature films, documentaries, shorts and animations, as well as through other artistic manifestations, which have been produced in Latin America, Spain and/or Portugal. NEFIAC's mission is to link the rich academic knowledge available in the New England region to the community at large. This Festival is also the only festival of its genre to offer cash prize awards in four categories: a $ 5,000.00 Grand Jury Award to an emerging filmmaker for a feature film, a $1,000.00 Jury Award for best documentary, a $1,000.00 Jury Award for best short.

NEFIAC is hosted in the city of Providence, Rhode Island with additional scheduled screenings during the festival dates throughout other cities in the area, which currently include: Cambridge, Massachusetts (Harvard University campus), New Haven, Connecticut (Yale University), Williamsburg, Virginia (College of William & Mary).
