2023 FFF Spotlight: Aria in Vanitas (.in.vanitas)

This experimental animation from Spain is an exploration of mold as both the conductor and material. Bizarre and beautiful, this epic short was a stand out submission from last year's Fest.

Experimental, narrative, documentary? We love all types of fungi-inspired films. Got your own in the works? Submit it to this year's FFF! The submission window is open until August 31 and there's no fee to enter!

2022 FFF Spotlight: Hanna and the Book by Juaco Garin ()

In this short animation teaser, Hanna, a young adventurer, finds the great mushroom-filled library that she has sought for years.

While this short won't be back this year for the FFF, we welcome you to submit your own fungi-filled film! The submission window closes August 31!

2020 FFF Spotlight: The Michael Jordan of Mycology by David Fenster ()

A mini doc-portrait of David Arora, author of one of the most unique and eccentric field guides ever written, this film trails the legend himself over several days in his California home.

As we make room for a new round of films for this year's FFF, we encourage you to submit your own fungi-infused film – documentary, experimental, or otherwise!

The submission window is open until August 31 and we can't wait to see what you make!

2021 FFF Spotlight: 2021: Between the Trees by Christian Lawes ()

This epic 20-minute mini doc explores the mycorrhizal network that allows for the flow of nutrients and information within forest ecosystems – with the climax being some beautiful mushroom growth timelapses.

This piece won't be returing this year as we make space for a new round of fungi films. So, are you working on one? We hope so!

Just be sure send it in by August 31! There's no fee to enter and no limit on submission length.

2020 FFF Spotlight: In Search of Medicine by Daniel De Gennaro

This short animation from Canada was the first film to screen during our first year as a film festival! Short, cute, and unforgettable, this piece tells of a young mushroom loving creature finding true, eternal love in an all knowing mushroom.

We welcome all styles, lengths, and genres of fungi-inspired films at the FFF. Do you have something in the works for this year's Fest? We can't wait to see it. Just be sure to submit your film by August 31!

2020 FFF Spotlight: Autumn Aroma by Tristan Stoch

Beautifully shot and edited, this short documentary covers the history of Japanese Americans hunting for Matsutake mushrooms in the Pacific Northwest throughout the 20th century.

We love fungi-filled documentaries like this one (who doesn't, really?!). And we'd love to share yours. What tale do you want to tell through video? Let us know in the comments, and get your film in to us by August 31, when this year's submission window closes for the Fungi Film Fest.

2021 FFF Spotlight: Symfaunic ()

A ripping snippet from the climax of the amazing animated short, Symfaunic, a film animated by 13 artists at the University of Central Florida. Shredding a magical lute, the faun Clove brings a forest of bioluminescent mushrooms to life!

While this most excellent 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 wild style 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 and can’t wait to see what you make!

2023 FFF Spotlight: Bizarre by Léo Mourey (.c.moi)

In this low poly short from France, we see two garbage collectors adapt their view of an overgrown abandoned home from disgust to fascination as the pulse of mycelium guides them to a higher state of mind.

We love super stylized shorts such as this piece. But we also love all fungi-inspired films (who are we kidding, really). Do you have a creative take on fungi you want to share with the world? Make a film and send it in! We're accepting submissions until August 31!
