BUFF, the International Children and Young People's Film Festival in Malmö, was founded in 1984 and is a non-profit organization. The aim was, and still is, to screen good films for children and young people as well as adults. A meeting place for people working with children, young people and film.



BUFF strives to open the possibilities for more influences from Europe and the rest of the world by showing films that might never be screened otherwise. In the cinema we get to meet different cultures, hear foreign languages and tag along on endless adventures. BUFF considers children and young people to be the most exciting resource we´ve got, our future.



Since 1995, BUFF is an official Swedish film festival, an assignment given by the Swedish Film Institute. About 100 films are shown during the six days of the festival, with screenings both day and night. BUFF arranges seminars and discussions for teachers, film-makers and cultural workers aiming to inspire the children and youth film.
