History

Description

TIFF is held each year during the third week of January in Tromsø.

TIFF has six screening venues, including Verdensteatret (Norway's oldest cinema in continuous use) and the HÃ¥logaland Teater. Because the festival takes place toward the end the polar night, it also offers mid-day screenings in an outdoor cinema.
