BUFF 2015
Start date: Sep 9, 2014, End date: Jul 9, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

BUFF has since 1984 existed as a film festival especially concerned with exhibiting quality films for a younger audience. At the annual event an audience of around 14-15.000 attends the screenings during the five days the festival runs. BUFF Film Festival programmes about 100 films both features, short films, animation and documentary. The profile of the festival is to show films which tells from a child’s and a teenagers perspective, films which touches the viewer and reflects different cultures, norms and situations of life, that the audience otherwise would not be confronted with. During its 31 years of existence BUFF Film Festival has filled an important role through a wide selection of films from all over the world for a young audience. BUFF also wants to inspire to creativity through learning from the films – and we create a meeting place for professionals to get together at seminars, conferences and industry meetings.We are presenting our guests before the screenings of their films and with all feature film guests Q&A's are held after the screening, both for the school audience and for the general audience. We plan for a partnership with a Film Festival in Amsterdam, "Fantastisch Kinder Film Festival," which focuses its efforts on 3 - 5 year old children. In interactive learning processes that build on children's natural ways to play together and be curious, conveys the festival a great knowledge about the medium of film to the target audience. It is our goal is to see that qualified moving image reaches its audience year-round. In this way we create awareness of the films in our program and also creates a kind of side-distribution nationally. This project is called “mini BUFF on tour”. Our mission is to work to combat discrimination and we work actively with implementing criticism of norms, since our aim is to support a democratic and respectful basis for conversation and discussion through films.
