The festival will combine a calendar of feature and short films in all formats and genres, including fiction, documentary, animation and experimental.

Each year TIFF showcases new cinematic works by established directors with international reputations as well as works by talented students and young filmmakers.

As in past editions, this year’s competitions will be in the following categories: feature films, short films, the DIGIART television film competition and a special competition for Albanian movies.

This year's Film Festival is organized in partnership with the Italian institute of Culture.
