Gulf Coast Film & Video Festival

The Gulf Coast Film & Video Festival is an independent film festival in the Galveston Bay and Clear Lake area, established in 1998 according to its FilmFreeway listing, which names Hal Wixon as festival director. It also gives an annual lifetime achievement award. It gives one award per category, including Best Festival, Best Feature, Best Foreign Film, Best Short, Best Student, acting awards and feature, short and student screenplay awards, and not every category is awarded each year. The Houston Film Commission listed the 2026 festival for September 18–20, 2026 in Galveston. The domain gulfcoastfilmfest.com now shows unrelated gambling content, so FilmFreeway is the working link. No 2027 dates or deadlines were posted as of October 18, 2026.
