The Humboldt International Film Festival - Since 1967

The Humboldt International Film Fest (HIFF) was founded in 1967 by a group of film-loving Humboldt students.  With the Humboldt Int’l Film Festival being student-run, our festival’s success depends on the donations and support of our community to keep the festival going for years to come.  Your donation will help  future-proof the film festival as well as continue developing in-person and virtual film events that bring the local and global community closer with films that highlight the vision and values of our fest: to promote the art of film, not only as a means of entertainment but also as a vehicle for self-expression and a stimulus for dialogue about social, political and cultural issues.

Thank you for your donation!
