Houston International Sports Film Festival

The Houston International Sports Film Festival (HISFF.org) is very excited to open the submission process to the 2nd annual HISFF taking place Feb 3-6, 2022!!! WE ARE LAUNCHING A COLLEGE STUDENT SHORT FILM COMPETITION TO CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH AS PART OF OUR RACIAL EQUALITY PROGRAMMING. WE ARE LOOKING FOR SHORT FILMS ON THE FIRST BLACK ATHLETE FROM A SPORT AT YOUR UNIVERSITY. GET YOUR SUBMISSION IN TODAY! We successfully launched HISFF in June 2021 after navigating Covid, a potential flood and many other obstacles! We know the film festival submission process can be an uncertain investment and the HISFF looks forward to giving filmmakers a more substantial return on their invested time and money. Please be sure to sign up for our mailing list at HISFF.org, and follow our social channels, @hiff_org so we can keep you updated on our future announcements! The festival will benefit a specific cause every year that allows us to make a positive impact in the community and the world. For 2022 that cause will be MENTAL HEALTH, which has become an important topic in the public consciousness both for athletes as they navigate their lives and careers, and the general public as we deal with an ever increasing number of daily challenges. We will hold the festival Feb. 3-6, 2022 and keep the festival timing to fall on the first weekend of February every year in the future. This slots HISFF’s timing for weekend after Sundance and the weekend before the Super Bowl! Houston is one of the most diverse cities in the world, with a vast cultural landscape and incredibly wide palate for dining experiences from around the world. Sports is imbedded in the culture of Houston, overall as a city, as well as in the various communities and neighborhoods throughout the city. Sports brings together people from all of these different communities and backgrounds. We want to bring the rich flavors from all of these communities together at the HISFF. Houston draws people from all over the world to attend major international sporting events and these visitors also experience the southern hospitality Houston was founded on. HISFF is excited to welcome filmmakers from around the world to experience our city and we are thrilled to support their careers!
