The Non Violence International Film Festival

The Non Violence International Film Festival (NVIFF) celebrates the human spirit and concepts of Non Violence in all forms.

The Festival's mandate is to screen films that educate, challenge, inspire and entertain us without promoting violence or discrimination of any kind. These films include documentaries as well as animated and live action films.

The NVIFF has a student level of film submission and exhibition. In conjunction with local secondary and post secondary facilities, students, teachers and the NVIFF will select and screen films submitted by students from all over the world.

"It has been a real pleasure and an incredible honour to have been able to bring so many great local and international films to Waterloo Region over the years. Looking to the future, we developed our student program, where we hope to engage youth about Non Violence and help grow their view of the world through dynamic storytelling and cinema." Steve Cross - Festival Founder/Director.
