Festival Description:

The festival consists of an international and nordic selection of new children and youth films, and the formats are both feature films, short films, documentaries, and animation films. Besides the screenings there are workshops where children can learn filmmaking as well as seminars for film professionals. BUSTER organises "Professional Days", the official children and youth film meeting for film profesionals.

BUSTER is an international film festival for children and youth, of a high standard, capable of attracting a huge audience, while creating a forum for international film professionals. In the spring of 1999 the Centre of Children and Youth Film at the Danish Film Institute assembled a group of film workers affiliated with children’s films. They created the foundation for BUSTER and at the same time BUSTER Foundation was established with support from the Danish Film Institute.
