Houston Greek Film Festival

The Houston Greek Film Festival, founded in 2018, is a nonprofit festival of new feature and short films by Greek and Cypriot filmmakers, producers and actors from Greece, Cyprus and the diaspora. Eligible work also includes films about Greece and films by US filmmakers with a strong Greek theme. MATCH (Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston) is the festival's home venue. Juries pick the best feature and short, and audiences vote People's Choice awards for feature, short and documentary. The 9th edition runs November 20–22, 2026. Entries cost $35 through FilmFreeway or email; the 2026 call closed in late summer, and submissions for 2027 had not opened as of October 18, 2026.
