TAFF 2024 has begun!

The ninth round of the Turku Animated Film Festival kicked off yesterday! We had the pleasure to screen “Twisted Impact”, the first of our screenings with films taking part in the international competition as well as “Finnish Gems”, presenting the films in the national competition. Our audience came in big numbers, and we can’t wait to show you more!

We also loved to see many people showing up for our outdoor screening of Junk Head, organised together with Turun Elokuvakerho and Kirjakahvila in the late hours at Brinkkala courtyard. The weather played along and the atmosphere was filled with animation joy.

Turku Arts Academy’s “Behind the Scenes” exhibition started simultaneously at Viinatehdas. The exhibition will be on display until Saturday 24.8.

Today, on Thursday, our highly awaited TAFF Junior school screenings began. We once again opened the doors of Manilla-teatteri for preschool and primary school students as well as daycare groups from the Turku area. During the weekend, we welcome all families and those young at heart to enjoy the same screenings! The screenings are free for children under 16 years.

Thank you all for coming and making this year’s TAFF start this strong! There is much more to come. Get to know the complete festival timetable here and follow us on social media @turkuanimatedfilmfestival to learn even more!
