About NOYIFF

NOYIFF aims to stimulate the innovative thinking and creative passion of young filmmakers through a competition mechanism spanning China and New Zealand. We encourage them to continuously explore and dare to break boundaries, showcasing cutting-edge artistic sensibilities and profound creative imaginations.

This film festival does not adhere to tradition but is dedicated to exploring new artistic frontiers, advocating for a multicultural stance, unique thinking paradigms, and borderless audiovisual expressions. We aspire for young filmmakers to utilise their cultural heritage and avant-garde creativity to present a feast of ideas to the world, elevating the art of cinema to new heights.

NOYIFF is committed to gathering the essence of young creative works, providing a fair and transparent judging platform, rediscovering the original intentions of cinematic art, and leading the trends of the times. We call upon all young creators passionate about cinema and daring in innovation to join our ranks, collectively opening a new chapter in the art of filmmaking and leaving behind a brilliant legacy for the future of creation!
