Overview
AniFestROZAFA is the International Film Festival for Children and Young People in Shkodra, Albania, first launched in 2010 and now in its 17th edition. It is notable as one of Albania’s only dedicated children’s film festivals, with a program centered on animated films and short artistic films made for, by, and about children and youth, giving space to both professional and youth-made work. Its place in the festival circuit comes from its international competition, educational focus, and its role in promoting children’s cinema in the Balkans and beyond.
