Naples is a highly sought-after destination because of its pristine beaches and ideal weather. Atop the list of reasons that Naples is “cool” this October has nothing to do with the weather, though, and everything to do with the fact that MovieMaker Magazine has named the Naples International Film Festival one of the “25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World.” Here are all the details about this must-attend event:
Artis-Naples
Known as a “cultural campus and center for the arts” in Southwest Florida, Artis-Naples acquired the Naples International Film Festival in 2017. Artis-Naples has broadened its film offerings and has proven successful in growing the festival’s platform and popularity. This October’s four-day event will include over 60 screenings.
Dates and Venues
October 24th-27th
The Naples International Film Festival will run from October 24th-27th. Hours will vary by performance, but films will be screened daily.

This year, the festival plans to award $25,000 in cash prizes.
