International Festival

Short film festival

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 [...]

FOOD FILMS _ THIS YEAR'S THEME FOR 2026: JAPAN AND ITS CUISINE

This festival, created by cinema and gastronomy professionals, was born from their passion for these two themes; and from 2 books we wrote: 'les petits plats du grand écran' (Little Dishes of the Big Screen) (1999) (Canal + edition) and Ciné-bouffe (Cinema-Food) (2001) (Hors Collection edition); as well as from a first International Film and Gastronomy Festival that took place in Dijon (2004 and 2005).

It is therefore with a 'gourmand' pleasure that we decided to once again pay tribute, through this festival, to the delicious films (whether sharp or savory) evoking gastronomy, and to the most exquisite table scenes, to try to understand why and how they were 'cooked' by the directors who imagined them.
