NIFF is a space for criticism, denunciation, impact and social growth through the dissemination and promotion of cinema.
NIFF aims to be a statement against non-involvement, disregard and lack of commitment, which is the real disease of this century, where we produce more than we can consume, and happiness is subject to the law of supply and demand.
NIFF was born with the intention of triggering, debating the issues that are hidden under appearances and confronting the public with the social realities that show each individual as a part of those that make us complex, unique and human.

Cerro de Pasco, a city that has forged its identity in the depths of the earth, is preparing to welcome a new treasure: the "4 Reales" Film Festival. Inspired by our region's rich mining history, this cinematic event stands as a beacon of hope and creativity, illuminating the deepest corners of our culture. With each frame, we aim to project dreams, inspire talent, and celebrate the cultural diversity that characterizes us. Since time immemorial, stories have been passed down from generation to generation, carved into the walls of mines and resonating in the hearts of their inhabitants. Today, cinema becomes the new medium to tell these stories, to make visible the struggles and dreams of a people who have known how to face challenges with courage. The name "4 Reales" pays homage to the colonial-era currency, a symbol of value and exchange. Just as money connected people in the past, cinema unites us in the present, creating a space for encounter and dialogue where differences are blurred and diversity is celebrated.
