The Miau Film Fest was created as a cinematic tribute to one of the most mysterious, free, and charming beings that share our lives: cats. This international short film festival invites filmmakers from around the world to celebrate, through cinema, the feline presence in all its forms: real, symbolic, poetic, or imagined.
Cats have accompanied art since time immemorial. They have been muses, guardians of silence, accomplices of solitude and inspiration. Their independence, infinite curiosity, and instinctive elegance make them authentic cinematic characters: observant, mysterious, unpredictable, and at the same time deeply human.
The Miau Film Fest aims to bring together diverse perspectives on these creatures that inhabit both our homes and our stories. It is also an invitation to recognize their ability to awaken tenderness, humor, reflection, and creativity in us.
More than a festival, Miau Film Fest is an act of love for cats and for cinema as a universal language. A space to celebrate the beauty of everyday life, the freedom of the smallest gestures, and the magic that happens when a cat appears on the scene.

The Annual Toyama International Film Festival (TIFF) began in the rural prefecture of Toyama, Japan. Started by a few English teachers in the area, we hoped to reach people not just in Japan, but around the globe.
The first TIFF took place in a small room inside of a shopping center, where about 70 people watched the 10 films we had received. The following year was a tremendous success with over 100 submissions from different countries, quite a step from our first year. The event was held in the city of Toyama at a local independently-owned venue, Bodegas-Mambo with around 80-100 guests coming to view the films. Every year since, we hope to expand even further and provide an even larger venue for participants and the movie-going community in Japan.
Today, with over 3000 submissions each year from countries around the world, TIFF has become a highly-anticipated annual event and a staple of Toyama's international community.
Note: Due to time constraints, we cannot accept films that run over 10 minutes. However, any genre of short film will be considered for exhibition.
