The Lie Feed Film Festival 2025

A Vision by Humanity Media CIC - Born from the Myth Busters Project

Funded by Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grant

The Lie Feed Film Festival celebrates truth, illusion, and the human stories hidden beneath modern digital culture.

The Lie Feed Film Festival, powered by Humanity Media CIC, is an annual event dedicated to cinematic storytelling that confronts the myths, illusions, and emotional realities of life online.

The festival originated from Myth Busters, a creative digital activism project funded by the Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grant, designed to challenge harmful narratives and empower young voices through media and art.

Our mission is to amplify stories that reveal what lies beneath the surface, stories that address identity, mental health, digital pressure, masculinity, gender, self-worth, and the emotional impact of social media.

Lie Feed invites filmmakers, creatives, and storytellers to break silence, expose truth, and reclaim power through film.

  • Film and Art with Meaning

    We champion storytelling that carries weight.
    Work that speaks honestly about the human experience and encourages audiences to reflect.

    Voices That Matter

    We highlight films and artistic work that explore
    • gender based violence
    • LGBTQ plus experiences
    • masculinity and emotional wellbeing
    • disability and inclusion
    • culture, migration and identity
    • the impact of social media and modern pressures

    Our purpose is to amplify powerful stories and the people brave enough to tell them.

  • Training the Next Generation of Artists and Filmmakers

    The Lie Feed Film Festival is building the foundation for a future academy where emerging artists and filmmakers can learn, grow and protect their creative voices.

    Through workshops, short courses and hands on programmes, we teach participants how to
    • develop their ideas
    • shape their message
    • address social issues through film
    • turn personal experiences into meaningful narratives
    • create work with emotional and cultural impact

    We guide young people to understand not only how to make films, but why their stories matter.

    A Proven Approach

    Recently, we collaborated with a local grammar school to explore mental health and the emotional pressure created by social media. Regardless of gender or background, these issues affect young people in powerful ways.

    Students worked with us to
    • explore their own experiences
    • shape ideas into scripts
    • learn the filmmaking process
    • produce three meaningful short films

    This is the model we are committed to continuing.
    Empowering participants to turn their lived realities into art that speaks.

  • Purpose Driven Work

    Every selected film or artwork must have depth, honesty and a meaningful message.

    Inclusive at the Core

    We welcome voices from all communities and backgrounds.

    A Pathway Forward

    The festival is not just a screening.
    It is the beginning of development, mentorship and future opportunities through our expanding academy programmes.

  • The festival is open to creators worldwide, yet deeply rooted in West Midlands and United Kingdom. We aim to build a strong creative ecosystem and provide accessible opportunities for local talent to rise.

  • The Lie Feed Film Festival is becoming a prestigious cultural platform with a clear mission.
    To elevate diverse voices.
    To inspire truth.
    To support emerging artists and filmmakers through education and opportunity.
    To build a new era of purpose driven cinema.

    Join us as we shape the future of film together.
