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 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.
