The Nepal International Indigenous Film Festival (NIIFF) is an annual film festival in
Kathmandu organised by the
Indigenous Film Archive that has been held every year since 2007, one of a number of indigenous film festivals to have been created since the turn of the 21st century. The criteria for films shown at the festival are that they must be by indigenous film-makers, or centre upon "indigenous issues, knowledge, wisdom, good practices, and culture". The goal of this, according to the festival organizers, is to "counteract 'the exclusion, injustice, and discrimination faced by Indigenous Peoples'".
