Festival Description:

Kecskemét Animation Film Festival (KAFF) is two festivals in parallel: the festival of Hungarian animation films and the international festival of European animation cinema and television feature films. KAFF organised the first animation film review twenty years ago, In 1996, prior to the organisation of the 4th KAFF, the organisational council decided to include European animated films not only in the informational programme, but also in the competition. Until 2005 KAFF was organised every three years. In 2005 KAFF became bi-annual.

In addition to the film screenings musical and theatrical shows, exhibitions and professional discussions take place in our town. Kecskemét is a small town with a hundred thousand inhabitants, with several arts workshops and with a lively cultural life, 80 km south of Budapest. KAFF offers accommodation and catering in Kecskemét for the directors of the competitive session.
