TFF’s commitment to first and second films — in features, docs, and shorts — makes it an exciting spot to discover new talent and fresh cinematic voices from around the world. The inclusion of a major retrospective (this year, Paul Newman) along with avant-garde new films offers a rare mix of film history and contemporary innovation. Low ticket prices and a programme designed for a wide audience make TFF a festival not just for industry insiders, but for anyone who loves cinema.
The presence of renowned filmmakers and actors gives the festival visibility — but the heart remains auteur, indie, and art-house cinema. The Turin Film Festival (TFF) returns for its 43rd edition with renewed energy, a strong international identity, and a bold artistic direction that continues its mission of supporting independent voices in global cinema. As one of Italy’s top three film festivals—alongside Venice and Rome—TFF is recognised worldwide for its avant-garde spirit, vibrant programming, and unwavering dedication to emerging filmmakers.
