The Houston Green Film Series was launched in 2010 by a coalition of non-profit organizations. The purpose of this series is to bring awareness to environmental causes through the visual arts. Film screenings are followed by a panel discussion with local experts. Reserve your tickets on Eventbrite.
Normally, screenings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at the Media Center at Rice University, unless otherwise noted. To keep our community safe, we have scheduled virtual movie events for the near future.
The series includes the annual screening of the Wild & Scenic Film Festival on Tour, international, award-winning films in January; and Wild About Houston: A Green Film Festival featuring short, local, environmental videos in October and new in 2020 also in November. CEC is inviting local organizations and groups to share films that focus on environmental stories and how you are making a difference in the Houston/Gulf Coast region for the Wild About Houston Green Film Festival. Please review our submission guidelines and submit your film using our Google Form.
