BUFF Malm\u00f6 Film Festival is an international children’s and youth film festival, held annually in March. Since 1984, BUFF has been the most important screening window for films for children and young people in the Nordics.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 – A BUFF film is told from the perspective of children or young people. Films that are 100% BUFF take their young audience seriously and make them want to return to the cinema again and again.
– Daniel Lundquist, head of programming<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The party of the year for cineasts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BUFF is a film festival that suits everyone. Someone gets their very first cinema experience at BUFF. Someone shows their first feature film to a critical audience of children. Someone else gets inspired to tell stories with moving images themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUFF Film Festival brings the latest films from all over the world to Malm\u00f6 – films that might otherwise never be screened in Sweden. BUFF strives to be the party of the year for both young and old cineasts and to give the audience a cinematic experience that makes them return to the cinema again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the festival, prizes are awarded in several categories. Read more about our awards and competitions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A meeting place<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BUFF Film Festival is a meeting place for professionals who work with films for a young audience. Raising the voice for films aimed at a young audience is important in many aspects. BUFF wants to be an arena where we raise questions about access to good films for children and young people and the necessity of creating good conditions for the production, distribution and screening of films for a young audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
