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.

PRESENTATION OF FESTIVAL

The International Imago Film Festival was born with the idea of ​​promoting cinema, especially independent cinema, by encouraging research and experimentation with cinematographic language.

The idea of ​​the festival was born from the meeting of IMAGO with the city of Civitella del Tronto, where the award-winning film "The right to happiness" by Claudio Rossi Massimi was made by IMAGO.

After the first two editions in the wonderful setting of Civitella del Tronto, the Festival has moved to the Municipality of Teramo with a broad cultural program, full of new features that go beyond national borders and that strengthens and highlights this fascinating bond.

The International Imago Film Festival will be all this and much more.
