Welcome to NUFF@TIFF! Come and watch the winning films from the NUFF 2023 film festival!
The Nordic Youth Film Festival (NUFF) is composed of a short-film festival
and a 6-day film workshop for emerging talents up to 26 years old.
Based in Tromsø, northern Norway, NUFF will have its 22nd edition in 2024. It
has been an international platform for countless young filmmakers since
its beginning in 2003, and is an integral part of Filmveksthuset
TVIBIT.
What is NUFF?
NUFF FESTIVAL:
Takes place every year in October. NUFF has two film competitions for short
films (under 20 minutes) made by filmmakers up to 26 years old. All genres
are welcome! We receive around 3000 submissions from all over the world
each year. A program selection of around 40 films is screened at
Verdensteatret, and 2 juries (Nordic and International) choose the best
film in each category, and the audience votes for the best film in the
Audience Award.
NUFF WORKSHOP:
Takes place each year in June. Around 30 participants from all over the world come to Tromsø and make a short film from scratch in six days. At the end of the week, the workshop films are screened at Verdensteatret.
YOUNG FILM TALENTS:
Tvibit Youth Film Centre (Filmveksthuset Tvibit) is a film laboratory
for young filmmakers in Northern Norway, aiming to assist and aid
emerging talent through mentoring, courses, workshops and financing of
youth film projects.
CHILL OUT:
During TIFF, Café Kringla at Tvibit is a meeting place for young festival
participants. Choose from the affordable menu, or feel free to just hang
out.
