The story

Monadnock International Film Festival in Keene

The Monadnock International Film Festival, known as MONIFF, showcases independent cinema in the Monadnock Region around Keene, New Hampshire, featuring award-winning festival-circuit films alongside premieres of regionally produced work by New Hampshire and New England filmmakers. The festival runs in-person for several days each October, with additional films available online in the following week.

The Monadnock Region of southwestern New Hampshire takes its name from Mount Monadnock, a peak so accessible and distinctive that it ranks among the most climbed mountains in the world.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

MONIFF's dual focus, mixing established, award-winning films already circulating the international festival circuit with dedicated premiere slots for regionally produced New Hampshire and New England work, gives it real value both to general independent-film audiences and to a specific regional filmmaking community that might otherwise lack a dedicated local showcase

02

The mystery stays covered

Its setting in the Monadnock Region, known for Mount Monadnock, one of the most-climbed mountains in the world, connects the festival to an area with genuine cultural and outdoor-recreation identity beyond the screenings themselves

03

The city starts moving

Offering both in-person screenings across multiple venues and an extended online viewing window also broadens access for audiences who cannot attend in Keene directly
