BUFF is recognized for its global perspective, fostering inclusivity, and bringing stories from around the world to its audience. The festival typically takes place in March in Malmö, followed by a National Film Week extending its reach across Sweden.

The National Film Week for Children and Youth, which is part of BUFF’s extended efforts to promote films across Sweden, will occur March 24–30, 2025.

So, the festival runs earlier in March (15–21), and the National Film Week follows afterward. My apologies for any confusion caused by mixing up these details earlier!
