The Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival [MNFF] was formed to support, promote and exhibit the dynamic and imaginative efforts of new filmmakers. The Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival is all about showcasing the outstanding work of first and second time filmmakers from around the world. It's our sole focus and it's what we do really well. The event takes place in scenic Middlebury, Vermont in late August each year. Over its first ten years, MNFF has been incredibly fortunate to attract a diverse array of passionate new filmmakers working across all genres who are creating brilliant work. We seek out compelling and memorable stories about underrepresented communities. We encourage risk taking and boundary breaking in the films that we select. And we've created a level playing field so that all our filmmakers feel their work is being equally promoted. MNFF also offers a monthly screening series [Oct-May] and the MNFF Vermont Tour.
