SATX Cinema Showdown

SATX Cinema Showdown (SACS), presented by ArroTV Launchpad, was a San Antonio competition for emerging filmmakers built around live showcases of up to ten short films each, held at Flix Brewhouse. At each showcase the audience voted for the night's winner, and monthly winners earned a place in an annual Cinema Showdown Awards Fiesta along with a free entry to a future contest. The finale was to give awards for best feature, short, documentary short and animated short, and a scholarship for the best student film. The listing also offered guaranteed acceptance for submissions. Its only listed edition ended with a finale on May 31–June 1, 2024, and no later dates were posted, so it is listed as dormant.
