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