The Northwest International Film Festival (NIFF), formerly known as the NanoCon International Film Festival, is an annual event that celebrates global cinema in the Pacific Northwest. Presented by Cowlitz Rotaract, the festival showcases award-winning short films ranging from 3 to 40 minutes across various genres, including narrative, documentary, and animation. Held primarily in Cowlitz County, Washington, with venues such as the Wollenberg Auditorium in Longview, NIFF brings together filmmakers and audiences to highlight the art of storytelling through film.
