IFF Art Film, previously known as Artfilm and Art Film Fest, is an annual international film festival founded in Trenčianske Teplice, Slovakia in 1993, shortly after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.[1] The first event was held on 14 June 1993, under the auspices of UNESCO. It is the longest continuously running international film festival in the country.[2]

In 2016, 23 years into its history, the festival was relocated to Košice, Slovakia's second-largest city.[3] The event traditionally takes place from 14 to 22 June[4][5] and includes autograph signings, discussions, musical performances, and workshops.[6]
