Houston Cinema Arts Festival was named one of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the world by MovieMaker magazine, making the list alongside Blackstar Film Festival, CPH:DOX, Oak Cliff Film Festival, Morelia Film Festival, New Orleans Film Festival, and more. The list was selected by panelists across film practices, including Filmmaker Natalia Almada, Executive Producer of the Sundance Film Festival Gina Duncan, Cinematographer Shabier Kirchner, Writer/Director Anja Marquardt, Filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun, Documentarian Jiayan “Jenny” Shi, and Director Tyler Taormina.  
 
We’re incredibly excited and honored to be recognized, alongside such great company. It’s a privilege to represent Houston on a considerably global list like this. There’s now more reason than ever to mark your calendars for the 14th annual Houston Cinema Arts Festival, happening virtually and in-person, this November!
