The third of the short film event themed "Animal Freedom" organized by Vegan Çiftlik will be held on March 29-31, 2025.

The purpose of the festival is to encourage the production of and provide a space for sharing short films and video artworks that draw attention to the violations of rights in farms, slaughterhouses, laboratories, zoos, circuses, natural habitats and many other areas in line with human desires, and the fact that even the most basic rights of animals are not recognized in the legal plane by being seen as property.

The works sent to the Festival will be displayed at the camp that will be held at Vegan Çiftlik between March 29-31, 2025.

Vegan Çiftlik Short Film Festival is not a festival with prize money. An honour award is given to a film selected by the festival jury.

All works in the genres of short films (fictional/contemporary/experimental) in line with the festival theme; that do not have speciesist, racist, LGBTI+ phobic, sexist, and other discriminatory discourses; produced in the last 2 years can participate in the festival.

    It is an honor that my film has been selected for such a surprising and original festival, committed both to art and to transforming the world. Open-air cinema in nature, incredible films, discussion circles, workshops, camping, socializing with rescued animals, vegan food, and a very welcoming and caring organizing team. An intense experience that has left me changed. I wish this festival a long life. Thank you very much.

  • Having an experimental short film produced with so few resources being selected for a festival is very pleasurable, and participating in a festival in Turkey is great! We know that our film is far from being something exceptional or winning any awards, but that's not why we entered it.
    Our intention, mine especially, is to take a message of love for nature to the four corners of the world and it doesn't matter if it will be seen by 1000 people or just 10, the important thing is that the message reaches somewhere and manages to touch some sensitive soul .
    Being present at the Vegan Çiftlik Short Film Festival was a pleasant surprise and I am happy for the receptivity, attention and affection with which we were treated. Thank you all!

    Sadece bir film festivalinden daha fazlasını deneyimlediğimiz 'Vegan Çiftlik' in oluşturduğu doğanın içinde kamplı film festivali; film izleme harici atölyeler-sohbetler-ekolojik yaşam deneyimiyle birlikte unutulmaz bir süreçti. Ayrıca benim gibi vegan film yapımcılarına bu alanı açtıkları için de ayrıca çok teşekkür ederim.😊🙏🌱
