WHY ATTEND?

Spotlighting Change

THENGOIFF is known not just for its films, but for the dynamic and interactive conversations that surround the films. We bring together some of the most influential change-making organizations from across the globe to engage with our audience and help develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the most important issues of our time.

Building Knowledge

Attendees come for more than just films. They come to be inspired, to learn from others, to share best practices, and to understand the challenges, opportunities, and on-ground realities in other developmental sectors. To build a sustainable knowledge is to listen and learn from both local experts and leaders while respecting cultural values.

Cultivating a Community

THENGOIFF is a hub for filmmakers and development industry professionals to connect, learn, share ideas, and be inspired. We create an interactive opportunity, not just for the passive watching of films, but genuine opportunities for networking, creating connections, and building a development community that embraces storytelling as central to its purpose.

PROGRAMMES

The NGO International Film & Knowledge Forum brings together a dynamic suite of initiatives designed to harness the power of cinema, storytelling, and collaboration to address global challenges. From sparking innovation to empowering voices, each programme reflects our commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
