About TAFF

Turku Animated Film Festival is an international film festival celebrating creativity and the art of animation. TAFF seeks to promote animated film culture both in Finland and internationally.

Our aim is to become one of the most important film festivals in Finland and to create a platform for encounters between filmmakers, industry delegates and local lovers of animation. We’re also interested in extending the concept of film screening and bringing together cinema and other forms of creativity as well as entertainment.

TAFF is coming up again in August 2024 with a seductive selection of animated shorts! The ninth edition of TAFF will be held again in Turku, Finland, between 21 to 25 August 2024, presenting dozens of screenings during five days.

The International Competition, which is held again this year, bursts with original, bold, uncompromising and inventive animated shorts under 30 minutes in length. In addition, the festival consists of an alluring selection of carefully selected special programme.

About Us

The festival is organised by a nonprofit association Turun elokuvatapahtumat ry. The team behind the festival is formed of people who are passionate about animated short films. The organisers have background in directing, producing and cherishing animated shorts as well as organising cultural events.
