The Humus Film Fest is an international short film festival focused on environmental themes. It aims to showcase both professional and amateur filmmakers, broadening perspectives on the environmental challenges we face: the disconnect between rural and urban areas, the loss of nature in cities, rural depopulation, climate change, and the eco-social transition towards a society more respectful of its environment.
The Humus Film Fest was born and continues in this 11th edition with a distinctly hedonistic and optimistic spirit. Therefore, we encourage filmmakers not only to present stories that address these issues from a stark reality, but also to open their cameras to humor, poetry, surrealism, and experimental art. This allows us to approach more hopeful future environmental scenarios, or at least to help us understand the current situation from less apocalyptic perspectives that paralyze us.

FID:RIO is the new International Documentary Film Festival based in Rio de Janeiro, inspired by the spirit that established FIDBA as the most important documentary festival in Ibero-America. FID:RIO envisions itself as a gathering space for non-fiction cinema, where films share a common vocation for reflection, formal exploration, and a critical gaze upon the world we live in.
Based on this premise, FID:RIO presents itself as an annual event that combines a selection of films by emerging directors with retrospectives of renowned filmmakers, as well as the recovery of essential works that remain outside the commercial circuit. The festival is an open platform for all documentary languages and for all forms that question reality and seek to understand it through cinema.
FID:RIO also aims to expand the cinematic experience toward other languages and formats, opening a dialogue between documentary and other disciplines: from photography to installations, from documentary theater to transmedia storytelling, and from traditional narration to new digital platforms. In this intersection between reality and fiction, documentary emerges as an irreplaceable form of contemporary thought.
In a world where markets tend to turn every connection into a spectacle, documentary cinema reaffirms its uniqueness: it works with uncertainty, instability, and unpredictability. And that fragility is precisely its strength. Documentary cinema invents forms, builds new maps, and explores territories that we do not yet fully know.
LINK:RIO is the industry section of FID:RIO, the direct successor of the work consolidated by LINK at FIDBA, one of the most important documentary gatherings in Latin America. Its aim is to strengthen documentary production through various instances of support, training, networking, and project development.
Its activities include:
Work in Progress – Presentation of projects at an advanced stage.
One-to-One Meetings – Individual meetings between filmmakers and decision-makers.
DocLab – A laboratory for projects in development.
Masterclasses and Conferences – Spaces for training and inspiration with national and international leaders.
