Spain: Humus Film Fest 2021
Urban gardens have become one of the most creative and innovative inner-city experiences, and they’re here to stay.
Shorts may be submitted starting on Monday, 1 april 2021 and up until 12 am (midnight) on Monday, 13 september,Central European Time.
We thought that the best way to discover the urban garden experiences taking root in cities across the globe was a short film festival, with a vibrant mix of the hedonistic atmosphere of these green spaces, their most creative and innovative aspects, and their spirit of activism.
The Humus Film Fest is Spain’s first short film festival dedicated to the theme of “urban gardens and city”.
This festival welcomes all perspectives and approaches to urban agriculture, whether amateur or professional, from surrealist or poetic visions to more humorous or realistic scenarios.
You’ve got three and half minutes to tell a story that connects these two ecosystems in one of four different categories:
Fantasy: This is the category for your sci-fi, horror, animated and futuristic stories. It’s the place to tell tales not even you would believe, to attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion… or not.
Art Film: Filmmakers, this is your niche. Here we will include shorts that explore the urban garden-city connection from a more personal perspective, the most poetic or surrealist visions of these spaces… Yes, even if no one but you will understand the film, there’s a spot for it here.
Comedy: This category is open to any short film with heavy doses of laughter, irony or humour.
Documentary: If you want to tell the story of your urban garden, show how it’s connected to your neighbourhood, explain the ways it benefits a community, or document the wildlife that frequents your patch, then this is the category for you.
