Hyperreal Film Club is a non-profit in Austin, Texas for filmmakers and film fans. Since 2016, we have shown hundreds of films in venues all over town, each accompanied by a local short film, music video, or video art piece.
In September 2024, we opened our own ~60-seat screening space at 3rd and Chicon in downtown East Austin. We're thrilled to have more opportunities than ever to screen incredible locally-made films!
Currently, we are soliciting narrative and documentary short films, animated shorts, music videos, and narrative-leaning video art pieces 15 minutes or less in runtime for our January-April 2025 screenings in our new clubhouse and screening space. Work over 15 minutes will be accepted through this call, but we have a lot fewer spots for these films so keep that in mind as you're submitting.
We're in search of the best short films Texas has to offer for that season.
Selected films and filmmakers will be featured in dedicated social posts and on all promotional materials for the event.
Filmmakers will be given three guest spots to the event (for you and three guests).
At least one representative of the film will need to attend the event to introduce their film.
Accepted films will receive a laurel naming their film as an Official Selection of Hyperreal Film Club.
