What: The Newport International Film Festival (NIFF) was founded in 1998 by Christine Schomer, Nancy Donahoe and Pami Shamir. Co-founders Nancy Donahoes & Christine Schomer, circa 1998. In 10 years, NIFF has grown dramatically into one of America's leading regional film festivals. The Festival, which critics have called a “low key Cannes,” has a reputation for stellar programming and has cemented its status as one of the most exciting and exclusive festivals of its kind. Annually attracting over 10,000 filmmakers, celebrities, journalists, and film enthusiasts of all kinds together in a less frenzied, less commercial, and more intimate environment, the Festival has distinguished itself as one where art ranks before commerce.
