At FABA, we invite our audience to watch with emotion, intuition, and artistry. We don't believe in boxing films into rigid genres. Instead, we curate by vibe. Each vibe captures a distinct energy, feeling, or experience. Explore below to discover which one speaks to you: Dreamy & Delicate Soft, intimate, poetic. For when you want to drift, feel, or reflect. Films with emotional subtlety, slow pacing, visual poetry, romance, memory, grief, nature. ​ Bold & Blunt Raw, gutsy, unfiltered. For when you want it real and loud. Narratives driven by conflict, identity, activism, social commentary, or DIY energy. ​ Strange & Surreal Weird, witchy, and a little wild. For when you want to disappear into the unexpected. Experimental, absurdist, magical realism, spiritual films, midnight shorts, horror-adjacent. ​ Vibrant & Visionary Striking, stylized, and full of flair. For when you want to be inspired. Includes high-concept stories, maximalist visuals, movement-based work, genre blends with visual punch.

If your film exceeds 3GB, contact the FABA Films submissions team.
