Bass Big Screen Film Festival

The Bass Big Screen Film Festival is a one-day showcase of short films by students and faculty at the University of Texas at Dallas, presented by the Film Studies Program in the university's Harry W. Bass Jr. School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology. Films play on the LED wall in the ATEC building on the Richardson campus. It takes shorts of any genre or form, including narrative, documentary, experimental, animated and hybrid work, from across the UT Dallas community. A jury picks Best Film and may give a Special Jury Award, and the audience votes on an Audience Choice Award. The first edition, in April 2026, screened seven finalists. The second is set for April 23, 2027; entry is free.
