Humans of Film Festival – 2025 Retrospective
Line up: If I am Here, it is by Mystery + The Last Meal

The first official collaboration between Filmhuis Cavia and Humans of Film Festival is here! For this retrospective and preparation for the next HoFF edition, we will show the films that were awarded in the previous edition. On Friday we will screen the films that got the ‘Honorable Mention’ from the jury, and on Saturday the two films that were awarded in the festival.

Humans of Film Festival hopes that, through the conversations and films, its contribution will encourage festival visitors and residents of the West district to understand one another better. The festival also aims to strengthen community cohesion in the neighbourhood and the city, broaden perspectives, and raise awareness of human rights, empowerment and social justice.
