FUFF is a short film festival, developing interest towards Finno-Ugric fiction and experimental films made by Finno-Ugric filmmakers, or films dealing with Finno-Ugric topics. We welcome film entries from all over the world. Independent filmmakers who are not part of mainstream commercial filmmaking are especially encouraged to submit their work. We also encourage the submission of student films.
The festival has different Panorama sections - Hungarian Short Films, Estonian Short Film and Finnish Short Films. Finno-Ugric Short documentaries and Finno-Ugric experimental films.
