MIRAAA Media Festival

MIRAAA Media Festival is a touring festival of experimental film and media by artists from the South Texas–Mexico borderlands, organized by a group of border arts groups including Trucha RGV, Entre Film Center, the Laredo Film Society and the Daphne Art Foundation. It aims to support non-traditional storytelling and under-represented border narratives, and centers BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and disabled artists. The 2026 edition ran over three consecutive weekends in August, moving from McAllen to Eagle Pass and ending in Laredo, where the free program at Laredo College's Kazen Student Center paired short films with printmaking workshops, artist talks and a community dinner. Awards are a Best of Fest and a People's Choice award in each city. Organizers describe it as biannual; no next edition was posted.
