HUMANO Mexico's first Human Rights Film Festival is a non profit Film Festival set in Tijuana Mexico, a few steps from the USA/Mex Border . HUMANO received more of '3200 films in the last 6 weeks on the platform Filmfreeway. Filmmakers from more than 122 countries reached out to us and causing us to break international records on submission of a First time Film festival.

HUMANO Film Festival does not charge any fees to submit or screen Films, instead we promote and reward the Filmmakers who feature short films that advance issues related to Human Rights. HUMANO welcomes productions that speak to stories of humans experiencing violations of rights as a human and productions that examine the rights of: access to our planet, ethnic groups, education access, equity, health access, gender inequality, migration challenges, racism, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia and other obstacles that impede a dignified and balanced life across the human spectrum.

We are looking for your support to give to each of the winners a prize to keep making films that contribute on a social impact and to support the new generations of Artivism. With your help they will be able to keep fighting for the freedom of speech . At the same time we are launching HUMANO Cinema Movil to bring Movies and Art lessons to shelters and indigenous groups over The Border.

The Mobile School Project

The Mobile School project was born from the collaboration between two humanitarian aid organizations Border Angels and The Schoolbox Project. As you may know, Border Angels sponsors ~15 shelters in Tijuana, MX serving migrant families who often spend many months waiting for asylum hearings and next steps. The shelters house hundreds of children, many of whom have spent months, if not years outside of the school system - if they were able to attend in their home countries at all.
