Sustainable Stories Film Fest (SSFF)

We show films and art work about ideas, concepts and stories of sustainability and we empower filmmakers and artists working on sustainability-related subjects. That is the mission for our festival, which is in its third season now.

All participating pieces have to be about an aspect of sustainability. For us, this also includes Social Sustainability. In collaboration with the university's common reader program, this year's special focus is Disability Visibility.

Participating pieces can be documentaries, narrative films, animations, VR / AR productions, experimental films, video art, still images, sculptures, paintings, etc. All films and photography for projection are accepted through FilmFreeway. For submission of tangible art please reach out directly using the email provided.

Films selected will be screened in our UHCL Black Box Theater from October 30 - December 8, 2023.

The adjacent UHCL Art gallery will house physical pieces of art, such as sculptures, paintings, etc, as well as selected projections and some pieces on large format TVs.

We will also screen the Best of Fest films in our large 500-seat Bayou Theater between November 7-10
