A History of the Film Festival

The Houston Green Film Series was launched in 2010 by a coalition of nonprofit organizations to bring awareness to environmental causes through the visual arts. This included the annual screening of the Wild & Scenic Film Festival on Tour – a selection of international, award-winning films – as part of the Wild About Houston: A Green Film Festival featuring short, local, environmental films. CEC invited local organizations and filmmakers to share films that focused on environmental stories and how to make a difference in the Houston area.
