The ARFF Amsterdam International Film Festival is an independent event that is part of the broader ARFF - Around International Film Festival, which also holds editions in Barcelona, Paris, and Berlin. It annually showcases a diverse range of visual media, including feature and short films, documentaries, experimental works, music videos, animations, student films, TV series, and new media. The festival features monthly selections leading to an annual awards ceremony, which often brings together finalists from all four editions in a unified event. While screenings are scheduled online, the award events focus on networking and in-person gatherings.
