PrairieFest Film Showcase

PrairieFest Film Showcase is a one-day showcase of independent short films presented by the Grand Prairie Arts Council at the historic Uptown Theater in downtown Grand Prairie. It takes shorts of all genres from filmmakers anywhere and at any experience level, with categories for family-friendly, drama, comedy, action and thriller, horror, animation, documentary, student work and TV or web series episodes. Selected films play on the theater's full-size screen, and awards also go to directing, writing, acting and craft, plus a young filmmaker prize. The 2026 showcase was held August 29; the 2027 date had not been announced as of October 2026.
