Houston Short Short Short Film Festival

The Houston Short Short Short Film Festival (HS3FF) is a short film festival meant to raise the profile of Houston filmmakers next to national and international work. It takes shorts from Houston and the rest of North America and also accepts international entries. Awards cover best short and best very short film, narrative, drama and acting, cinematography, experimental, sci-fi, action, documentary, score, and multicultural and social-impact work. The fourth edition is set for October 23–25, 2026. The organizers say they plan live screenings and networking but that the format may change depending on funding. Regular submissions are closed.
