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.

An international AI short-film contest exploring how humans and technologies create together.

This year, we invite filmmakers to explore the traces left by human-AI creation – not only in the visible outcomes of art, but in the invisible shifts of thought, perception, and intention. The theme reflects on how technology inscribes itself into creative consciousness: how our tools shape the stories we [...]
