The Trash Basté festival was born in 2021, thanks to our passion for the Trash and Gore genres. In its first edition we screened a sample of short films trash, gore, terror... and low budget. Due to the great reception of the public, we decided to make a second edition in 2022 transforming it into a festival, where we include a market with terrifying products and a final party concert with horror-punk and extreme metal bands, without forgetting a bar service at popular prices. In the third edition, apart from the usual exhibition, as a novelty we had a section with short films in competition that is here to stay.
Since our beginnings, we have been enemies of censorship and we like to project the most bizarre and bloody shorts we can find. So don't be shy, we're looking for you to send us those crappy shorts with blood made with your friends, without a budget and with grace, with a lot of blood and dismemberments... We like offensive shorts. It's all good for us if it's dark, bloody, terrifying, fantastic or trash.

FECIUCH is a public university film festival that aims to promote audiovisual and cinematographic culture on a national level, fostering the inclusion of regional schools. It values audiovisual works not only for their artistic and social content, but also for their approach to language, form, and the critical perspectives developed within educational establishments .
Through this festival, we seek to bring together a broad community of students, professors and graduates, creating a university-based, artistic, diverse, and community-oriented space. FECIUCH is a platform for exhibition, discussion, and development for emerging voices and perspectives that are arising in university and educational spaces. We strive to encourage a contemporary cinema that, shaped by the challenges of modernity and limited resources, embraces innovation and reinvention.
We believe in a kind of cinema that dares to find new viewpoints, languages, and narrative forms - one that, rather than replicating established formulas, grows from the authenticity of its voices -, creativity, and the need to express from within the learning process. It is a cinema that explores and breaks the boundaries imposed by the traditional industry, thriving despite a lack of access to conventional resources.
This festival seeks to highlight works born from an urgent need to create—engaging with the present and envisioning the future of cinema through the student’s gaze. We view this as a space for dialogue and exploration of experiences that exist outside industrial-level access and resources, encouraging and promoting a low-budget cinema that finds reformative and sustainable solutions—where form, narrative, and the synergy of all elements make a film worth watching.
In this and future editions, we are committed to expanding our reach to support works in various stages of production, acting as a bridge between university filmmaking and the broader industry. We also aspire to international growth, incorporating independent showcases as a step toward eventually integrating them into our official competition.
