The Tampere Film Festival (Finnish: Tampereen elokuvajuhlat) is a short film festival held every March, mostly at the Finnkino Plevna movie theatre,[1] in Tampere, Finland.

It is accredited by the film producers' society FIAPF, and together with the short film festivals in Oberhausen and Clermont-Ferrand, it is among the most important European short film festivals.

Since 1970, it has been held in its current form, which makes it the oldest short film festival in Northern Europe.
