Scheduled from October 31st through November 2nd, the Festival marries the power of storytelling with the best independent cinema and brings it to the Texas Coast. The event proceeds benefit the educational programs of the Rockport Center for the Arts as well as the scholastic efforts of our longtime partner the Rotary Club of Rockport, TX. In addition, the Festival strengthens the economy through cultural tourism by including social gatherings with many of the filmmakers at downtown galleries and eateries.
