EMERGE (SWAMP emerging filmmakers festival)

EMERGE was a festival for emerging filmmakers from the Southeast Texas region, organized by the Southwest Alternate Media Project (SWAMP), a Houston media arts nonprofit. Entry was limited to filmmakers who had not yet received a distribution deal and had not completed a feature film. The one listed edition took place October 5, 2024, at the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art. SWAMP's website now promotes its monthly Houston Filmmaker Showcase and workshops and does not mention a later EMERGE, so it is listed here as dormant.
