TICFF, the Taiwan International Children's Film Festival, aims to become the first film festival in the lives of children!

Watching movies is an unforgettable magical experience — what may seem ordinary and mundane in reality can be refreshing through the lens of film. Many imaginative fantasies can only become real in the world of movies. Movie screens act like a door, opening new perspectives, and allowing one to witness various possibilities. Movies are a big part of the journey of growing up, weaving diverse imaginations and stimulating the potential for self-awareness, social observation, critical thinking, and artistic appreciation in children. TICFF firmly believes that whether it's in the art of film or individual growth, "possibility" is a crucial element worth exploring.

TICFF bears the mission of being the "first film festival in the lives of children," providing high-quality film content to broaden the international perspective of Taiwanese children, allowing them to experience creative aesthetics and expand their life experiences in a multicultural environment.

To create possibilities, the international competition of the film festival offers a NTD million-dollar prize, inviting international filmmakers and their works to screen in Taiwan, inspiring creativity and encouraging industry exchange. Additionally, a special "Taiwan Award" is awarded to support local creators and promote the domestic children's film and television industry.

Believing in possibilities, we cherish the creativity and imagination of children. Every edition of the festival includes the "Kids as Directors Workshop," an audiovisual education program encouraging children to transition from viewers to creators. PTS assists in guiding the filming process, and the resulting works premiere in the workshop segment of each festival. Several films from previous editions have participated in international film festivals and received awards, allowing children to step onto the global stage.

Pursuing possibilities, we plan high-quality film festival content. Here, you can find the best narrative films, animations, documentaries, and TV programs suitable for children from around the world. Additionally, there are numerous workshops, courses, and gaming activities, allowing children to choose how they most want to participate in the festival.

TICFF has been organized by PTS since 2004. It is the first biennial film festival in Asia specifically designed for children under 12, and its scale is considered the largest in Asia. As we approach the 22th year in 2026, we will continue to move forward, aiming to be the first film festival every child attends in their life.

In the 12th edition of TICFF in 2026, the festival ebuilds upon the brand spirit of “possibility,” further expanding it into the idea of “potential.” Under this year’s theme, Tiffi’s Magic “Box Office.”, the cinema is imagined as a cardboard box filled with children’s limitless potential. Festival mascot Tiffi takes on the role of Director of the Box Office, traveling across the globe to gather outstanding films that transcend cultures, languages, and creative forms. Children and adults alike are invited to open the box, step into the cinema, and embark on an exciting journey of discovery.

“Every unboxing makes the heart race, what could be inside the next box?”
Follow Tiffi as we open up the unknown and imagination together, and experience the thrill of discovering brand-new stories through every unboxing.
