Short film festival

We are a small festival that started with the sole objective of supporting and disseminating the many short films that are created year after year all over the world. To support new and not so new authors.

We are a group of film fanatics and our festival is not for profit but to enjoy and have a good time, that's why we have chosen Humour, Comedy and Smile as the genre to take the reins of our adventure.

Me Mondo Fest. seeks to share audiovisual creation in short film format with as many people as possible and to support the short film as a form of creativity in itself and not just as a means to reach feature films.

We seek to bring film screenings and audiovisual art closer to the general public by trying to move away from the usual cinemas and venues for this medium. [...]

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.
