In our country, and for more than one decade, a production before linked almost exclusively to fiction has been swelling their ranks with new topics, new approaches, new geographies, new dilemmas.

It is in this context that FIDBA is proposed as the 1st. International Film Festival dedicated to this genre which films with the same fans - as long as we believe that the forms and the doings of the documentary film are different from those of the fiction - may meet and dialogue among them and with the public.

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 [...]
