WELKOM. The New Renaissance Film Festival (NRFF) AMSTERDAM provides a platform for outstanding independent filmmakers from around the world to showcase their work. We focus on the ARTIST, on the STORY and on building a COMMUNITY of inspiring storytellers. We are not interested in following current fashions or being political. We seek out stories that are genuinely imaginative, emotional and life-affirming. Our numerous award possibilities give independents the chance to receive the recognition they deserve.
Take a look at our festival archive and past winners. We have been privileged to screen world premieres at our festival and films that went on to win an Oscar or get major distribution! We have also found that filmmakers, screenwriters, producers and actors create new projects from meeting each other at the festival. NRFF Amsterdam 2024 will be streamed the first week in May on Vimeo.
Winners will be announced on Sunday May 5th
