2020 FFF Spotlight: Touch: an e(rot)ic film by Bradley Williams ()

Winner of the 2020 FFF's Audience Choice award, this sensual short features fungi up close and personal, large and small, wet and dry, tasty and deadly, young and old – all to show us how fungi touch our lives and how they may like us to touch theirs.

No fungi-inspired film is off limits at the FFF. We want to see what you got!

If you have your own creative take on fungi, send us your piece by August 31!

2021 FFF Spotlight: Voie Lactée: Le Roquefort by Cyprien Nozières

This short snippet gives just a small taste of the brilliant twist the artist takes in crafting a full series of chess-related short experimental animations. This one, as its name suggest, focuses on the fungi-infused blue cheese Roquefort. It, like all the films in the series, is amazing, and weird.

While this film won’t be back at the Fest this year (as we must make space for the next batch of great works), perhaps you have your own super out there fungi film to share..?

With no fee to enter and no limits on length or style, all are encouraged to submit a film this year! We’re accepting submissions until August 31.

2023 FFF Spotlight: Medzzz Too Strong by Cody Lucich

Winner of the 2023 FFF's Most Edutaining award, this piece from California expertly depicts the values and visions of The Church of the People for Mother Earth and their high-dose work with psychoactive mushrooms in healing ceremonies.

Documentaries such as this great piece are a big reason whe fungi are finally coming into greater global awareness. Do you have a story to tell about mushrooms? Send it in to the FFF by August 31! We can't want to see what you make.

2024 FFF Spotlight: Amanita by Estudio Caim ()

Winner of the 2024 Best of the Fest award, this incredible 11-minute stop motion piece left us in awe. With its graceful use of stop motion, Amanita tells of a troupe of mushroom sisters that must confront the Beast that rules their oak tree home. As we journey in its fantastic realm of the little ones, this film is as deeply inspiring as it is empowering, offering a visceral reminder to all those affected by the weight of the world: that they too can tap into their inner flame of strength at a moment’s notice.

As with each years round of films, this piece won’t be back with the FFF this fall as we make space for a new lineup. Help us make this year’s Fest just as inspiring with your own piece! We’re accepting submissions until August 31.

2021 FFF Spotlight: Grateful Dean by Gabriel Joncas (), Kenzo Suzuki, and Guillaume Dubois.

This brilliant piece won the 2021 Audience Choice Award for its top-tier combination of cinematography, acting, and trippy plot twists (IYKYK). The film follows Dean Robert (), an eccentric self-sufficient mushroom cultivator who lives in an RV. It explores the adventurous and carefree van life, while also acknowledging that this reality can sometimes be deceptive.

Alas, this film won’t be back at the Fest this year as we must make space for the next batch of great works. So, submit your piece! We are accepting submissions until August 31.

The Fungi Film Fest is an incubator for new representations of fungi – we want to hear your voice and share your vision! With no fee to enter and no limits on length or style, all are encouraged to join!

We can’t wait to see what you make!

We are excited to share that the Fungi Film Fest is now part of Mycoculture Research, Arts, and Development, or MYC^RAD (). Led by FFF director Peter McCoy, MYC^RAD follows the same goal behind the FFF – to increase creative expressions of the human-fungal relationship – through a variety of fungi-centered initiatives and events.

This new relationship doesn’t change the FFF’s structure, but only provides new opportunities for the Fest to grow and expand its impact.

Learn more about MYC^RAD at the link in our bio, where you can also see the GREATLY enhanced FFF section that documents all of the 130+ films we’ve hosted over the years in depth.

Let us know what you think about this exciting collaboration in the comments below!

FOR THE FUNGI!

2023 FFF Spotlight: Mycelial Rhapsody by Ger Killeen ()

One of the first AI-supported films of the FFF, this hypnotic and poetic short takes us on a journey through the longstanding and deep connections between the human and fungal worlds by showcasing these connections with a dreamlike montage of humans, fungal fruiting bodies, and mycelium that unfold to illustrate a richly worded and narrated poem.

Are you working on an AI-fungi collab? We want to see it! The submisison window for theis year's Fungi Film Fest is now open until August 31! With no fee to enter and no limit on submission length, there's no reason NOT to enter!

2022 FFF Spotlight: Pharmakon by Jean-Martin Gagnon ()

Expertly scripted, acted, shot, and edited, this short narrative from Canada tells the tale of a group of friends gathered for a weekend of snow, drugs, and a tradition of abandoning oneself, to marvel, and to trust the unknown.

We love such well-crafted films inspired by fungi, but such a caliber is not required to submit the FFF! We welcome all films that relate to fungi in some way. So, send yours in! We're accepting pieces until August 31.

2023 FFF Spotlight: La Longue Pluie by Cassandre Léonard (.le)

In this haunting animation from France, a continual rain falls on the jungle of mold in which Mérove has crashed. In search of a shelter, waterspouts and increasingly intrusive mushrooms will put the endurance of the astronaut to the test.

We love experimental animations such as this one, and, well, any film that features fungi. Got one of your own in the works? Send it in! We're accepting films until August 31 and there's no fee to enter!

We can't wait to see what you make!
