WorldFest Houston

Two full-time staff. Backed by 20 advisory board members, 40 volunteers, and 70 jurors from around the world. Thousands of stories. One fiercely independent film festival that’s been discovering filmmakers and changing lives since 1968. 🎬

WorldFest-Houston is a scrappy, passionate nonprofit dedicated to giving independent international filmmakers the platform they deserve — right here in Houston.
Think Sundance. Think Tribeca. Think TIFF.
Now imagine that energy rooted in one of the most diverse cities in the world. 🏆
It takes an entire community of artists, film lovers, educators, industry professionals, and supporters to make something like this possible.

We’re looking for corporate partners and sponsors who believe in the power of storytelling, global perspectives, cultural exchange, and supporting the next generation of filmmakers.
If your brand belongs in a room filled with artists, innovators, audiences, and cinematic discovery, we’d love to connect. 🤝

Submissions for WorldFest-Houston 2027 open in August, and the future of the festival is bright.
Brighter with you in it. ✨
