We are happy to accept Online FilmFreeway Screeners! We have Big LG 110" Digital Screens for our juries! Not little laptops. Since we show our Remi Winners on big Cinemark Theatre screens, it seems right that we look at your production on a big flat screen! We do also accept DVD, BLURAY or USB FLASH/PEN/JUMP DRIVE for juding and for Theater Screening. Region Zero, please! (If you win a Remi, you may be screened on big Cinemark Theatre 60-foot screens to 600+ theater audience!! So we need a BluRay or Jump Drive for the DCP screening! Large juries view your entry on a big digital screen, not a little laptop! {Screenplay entries must be bound}! We will personally confirm your entry's arrival. We will personally let you know the jury results, and if you win a Remi Award, we will invite you to attend the 53rd WorldFest, and you will receive a complimentary $1,000 VIP Platinum Festival Pass! We do prefer Premieres! We discovered Spielberg, Lucas, Ang Lee, The Coen Brothers, Coppola and David Lynch, with their Premieres - those many new festivals did not! Therefore WorldFest requires a Premiere of some level, World, USA, South West! If your entry if it has been all over, we reserve those screening slots for true Premieres, but you could still win a Remi Award.
WorldFest was founded over 54 years ago as Cinema Arts, an International Film Society in August, 1961. WorldFest became the third competitive international film festival in North America, following San Francisco and New York. WorldFest is the oldest Independent Film & Video Festival in the World. It evolved into a competitive International Film Festival in April, 1968. It was founded by award-winning producer/director Hunter Todd to present a quality film festival for the Independent filmmakers. Hunter Todd has been honored with more than 115 international awards for creative excellence in film production, and he has been the producer, director, writer and/or cameraman on more than 300 motion picture and video productions. He has served as the member of the International Jury on more than 27 world-wide film festivals, from Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Croatia, Korea, Ireland and Bulgaria. The mission/vision statement of WorldFest is ~ To recognize and honor outstanding creative excellence in film & video, to validate brilliant abilities and to promote cultural tourism for Houston, to develop film production in the region and to add to the rich cultural fabric of the city of Houston. All members of the WorldFest staff are filmmakers. ![]() COVID-19 update: The 53rd edition of WorldFest Houston will be postponedDon't worry, friends... as long as humans have been around there has been a need for story telling. The show will go on and we will be back with more "good stories, well told." Now, y'all stay safe, ya hear! Dear film creators and lovers, Friends, we really didn't want it to come to this. We kept quietly pressing on, putting the finishing touches on our program, watching amazing films and assembling the best 53rd WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival that we could. But, Houston is asking us to protect our community and, so, we must cancel the events on April 17 - 26, 2020. As we say in this biz, "the show must go on!" And it will go on, but not exactly as we had planned. We hope to reschedule WorldFest-Houston 53 later in the Summer! There are so many unknowns, but we do know that our juries still want to share these incredible projects with the world and we will continue our mission to validate cinematic excellence. We are working with our juries to complete their screenings in the next two weeks and we will announce and inform all Remi Winners! We will know more about what we will do about the Premiere Film Screenings as the future reveals itself over the next few weeks. We do pledge to keep you informed and we pledge to keep doing our part to promote the creators of independent film, our amazing city of Houston and the diverse cultures of the world. If you have questions, please reach out to us. We will have more answers soon! We hope to provide screening opportunities to our selected filmmakers when normalcy has returned. Thank you for your support! And thank you for sharing your passion with us - remember that in times of chaos, sharing good stories is an elixir of life. We will return with more "good stories, well told" from around the world! With hope, Team WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival
