The Hanoi International Film Festival (Vietnamese: Liên hoan phim quốc tế Hà Nội), short form as HANIFF is a biennial film festival held in Hanoi, Vietnam around October or November. Founded in 2010 as Vietnam International Film Festival, it is the first international film festival in Vietnam, which introduces new films of all genres, including feature, short, documentary, animated to the audience.[1] Since 2016, it has expanded its entry to all cinemas of countries and regions around the world, instead of just films in the Asia-Pacific region as before.[2]

The festival is jointly organized by Vietnam Cinema Department from the Ministry of Culture, Sports & Tourism and Department of Culture & Sports from Hanoi People's Committee. Mrs. Ngô Phương Lan, incumbent director of Vietnam Cinema Department, has been served as Festival Director since it was founded.[3]
