The 2021 film festival was conducted virtually from June 18 to 20, 2021.

Nepal America International Film Festival showcases all genres of films including feature lengths, documentaries, animations, experimental and shorts from Nepal, South Asia, the USA, and all around the world. As in previous years, films from the Global Peace Film Festival Florida will be screened in the Special Sidebar Section. Films from Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia will be featured in the special DMV Close-up Section.

NAIFF is an annual film festival organized by Nepal America Film Society Inc, a non-profit organization based in Maryland.

Since 2017 the Film Festival has built a unique reputation as an emerging platform for filmmakers with Nepali background along with American filmmakers and filmmakers from the international diaspora.
