Poster

The 2026 Naples International Film Festival Poster is based on the art of Anastasia Samoylova.

Artis—Naples celebrates its multidisciplinary mission by featuring the work of a living visual artist on the official poster for the Naples International Film Festival. THe NIFF 2026 poster showcases artwork by artist Anastasia Samoylova.

The photograph Staircase at King Tide, Hollywood, Florida was made in 2019 as part of Samoylova's series Floridas, which includes images from around the state that capture the incongruous and often wryly humorous aspects of life in the Sunshine State. Its simple but striking composition possesses a cinematic quality, inviting the viewer to wonder what events might be about to transpire in this stage-like setting.
