Transilvania International Film Festival 2025 and 2026 – 24th and 25th editions

ongoing

The Transilvania International Film Festival (TIFF) is Romania’s leading film festival, celebrated for its bold and diverse programming. It showcases a wide range of voices, perspectives, and cultures, embracing diversity in storytelling, genre, and representation. Through its selection of films, industry events, and community initiatives, TIFF fosters inclusivity and cross-cultural dialogue, making it a key platform for cinematic and social diversity. The Festival has an average audience of 130,000 people, and gathers each year more than 1,000 industry guests from Romania and all over Europe. TIFF programmes a majority of European productions, and puts in the spotlight non-national films, especially from the region, promoting films from low-capacity countries. For the past decade, TIFF has a regular film education programme, with children's films and dedicated workshops, including a film workshop for teenagers, Let's Go Digital!. Film education is the best instrument to develop a sustainable audience for European films in the long term. TIFF continues to programme a majority of European films (75%) as well as European non-national ones (an average of 52%). Each year, the festival programme consists of nearly 200 films. Apart from the Official International Competition, the documentary Competition, as well as traditional, recurring sections, there are countries in focus for each edition: Spain and Serbia in 2021, Israel and Poland in 2022, the Nordics in 2023, Japan in 2024. The organisers are committed to maintain high standards in terms of programming and diversity of films and to continuously attract new audiences, with key international figures from the film industry invited to attend and share their knowledge, acclaimed filmmakers presenting their films or up-and-coming directors.
