It's time again for the Houston Cinema Arts Festival, which is currently taking place – in person and virtually.
Today, we explore our local film culture by diving into the 13th annual festival – whose theme is “The Third Coast,” a tribute to the Gulf Coast region and especially Houston, where the term was coined.
How do the films and filmmakers on this year’s festival reflect our city, and the times in which we live?
Whether you’re into documentaries, short films or Houston stories, share your questions about the festival, the local film industry and the indie movies being made today.
