WHAT IS NUFF?
NUFF is:
An annual international film workshop for young filmmakers aged 15 to 26, held every June in Tromsø, Norway. It’s a place to meet, create, and collaborate across cultures – developing new short films in just one week.
A short film festival showcasing the best films made by directors up to 30 years old. The festival features two days of screenings at the iconic Verdensteatret cinema in Tromsø, celebrating bold stories and fresh voices from around the world.

“NUFF festival & film camp was the most people oriented festival I’ve been to.”
“It was truly one of the best experiences of my life. I had the chance to work with people from different cultures and nationalities, and together we created a short film. It reminded me that it doesn’t matter which part of the world we come from. What matters is learning, working together, and building meaningful connections”
