BUFF Malmö Film Festival is an international film festival dedicated to films for children and young audiences. Held annually in Malmö, Sweden, since 1984, it showcases a diverse selection of films, including animations, short films, and features that explore meaningful themes like identity, social justice, and personal growth.

The festival serves as a platform for filmmakers, educators, and industry professionals, offering film screenings, workshops, and seminars. It emphasizes education and promotes critical engagement with cinema among young people.

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.

More info: buff.se. BUFF Malmö Film Festival itself is scheduled to take place March 15–21, 2025, focusing on screenings, seminars, and workshops.

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!
