Houston Stories

Houston Stories is a short film program for Houston-based filmmakers, run by the Houston Cinema Arts Society as part of the Houston Cinema Arts Festival. Submissions come in through FilmFreeway, and the selected shorts screen as a program during the festival. In 2026 the program was shown in the Brown Auditorium at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, during the festival's October 1–11 run. Each selected film received a $50 honorarium and two all-access festival passes. HCAS also describes a Houston Short Film Series of local shorts within the festival, which appears to be the same or a related program. No call for a 2027 program had been posted as of October 18, 2026.
