The Hoboken International Film Festival (HIFF) is an annual event known for attracting significant attendance, with past figures exceeding 15,000 people. It has featured screenings, award ceremonies, and special events attended by Academy Award and Emmy winners, nominees, and other celebrities. The festival has a celebrity jury comprising actors, filmmakers, and industry leaders, and awards winning filmmakers with cash prizes across various categories. While it has hosted events in locations such as Greenwood Lake, the festival has also faced discussions regarding attendance figures. Separately, the Hoboken Docs Film Festival is a newer initiative, launched in 2025, which focuses specifically on documentary filmmaking and aims to showcase emerging voices in the genre.
