Welcome to Tromsø Educational Film Festival!

Moving education…

 This festival is all about moving education. We will watch films, learn from each other, get new ideas for teaching and find inspiration to use film as a pedagogical tool. This film festival combines the best of both worlds where the concept of festival and conference meet. Come join us!

Screenings

We are still in the process of of recieving films to the festival in 2026,  but in the meantime you can take a look at the selected films at our last festival.
