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.
