Best of Fest is a programme of favourite short films from previous IFI Family Festivals. Each year for our Festival (August 21-23 2026), the Short Tales programmes of new animations and live actions from around the world are especially chosen from the best short films around for young people. To give you a taster, we’ve put together a selection of some of the most popular from the last couple of years.

Join us for some fun films, and cute crafts afterwards in IFI Foyer. Plus be in with a chance to win a family pass for the IFI Family Festival 2026.
