We tell stories about projects that make a difference, creating positive change!
This mural was painted by Houston artist Jacob Messa with help of UHCL students during our 2023 Sustainable Stories Film Fest Art Gallery Opening on November 10 in the main hallway of the UHCL Bayou Building next to our gallery.
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 fourth 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 Community Sustainability.
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 to the Festival Director Michael Brims at brims@uhcl.edu.
Films selected will be screened in our UHCL Black Box Theater from October 1 - November 15, 2024 and on one night to be determined at the 500-seat UHCL Bayou Theater.
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.
