Although TFF is known for its emphasis on films over celebrities, it consistently attracts international stars, directors, screenwriters, and cinematographers. The festival acts as a bridge between young filmmakers and the industry, often becoming a launchpad for international careers. TFF is designed to be accessible, inclusive, and deeply audience-centered. Affordable ticket prices, student reductions, open talks, and easily reachable venues make it one of Europe’s most welcoming film festivals.
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.
