ABOUT HIFF

The Haiti International Film Festival is the premiere platform that showcases quality films in Hollywood, California. We are a niche film festival that specializes in portraying the humanity of Haitian culture by curating notable films from the Haitian Diaspora, such as short films, documentaries, and feature films. We are the HBO for Haitian films displaying the humanity of Haitian culture. The Haiti International Film Festival (HIFF) was established in 2015 and is a non-profit corporation with a 501(c)(3) status. The mission is to showcase positive images of Haitian culture through film and art.

The goal of the HIFF is to inform diverse audiences about the rich culture of the Haitian Diaspora through innovative cinema. Through outreach and collaboration with emerging and established filmmakers, we teach and conduct workshops and hold a yearly film festival that builds a more robust ecosystem for Haitian filmmakers through partnerships with art non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and the creative industry to make a more significant impact in Hollywood and Haiti.
