NISI MASA is a European network of associations, currently present in 26 countries. These associations consist of young professionals, students and enthusiasts with a common cause - European cinema.

Our main aims are:
- to discover new film talents
- to develop cross-cultural audiovisual projects
- to foster European awareness through cinema
- to create a platform of discussion and collaboration for young European filmmakers

Our main activities are:
- organising filmmaking & scriptwriting workshops
- holding various cinema-related meetings (conferences, seminars, etc.)
- promoting short films (through screenings, making of DVDs, etc.)
- editing publications (various books & a daily magazine produced during several European film festivals)

NISI MASA was founded in 2001. It is a non-profit organisation supported, amongst others, by the European Union (Youth, Civil Society & MEDIA Programmes), the Council of Europe, the European Cultural Foundation, the Allianz Cultural Foundation and the Fondation de France.
