This year's Hecho en Tejas Competition celebrates Texas filmmakers capturing lives rarely seen on screen: professional mourners, food delivery workers, quinceañera seamstresses, and families facing an uncertain future. Intimate, urgent, and rooted in real communities, these films ask what it means to survive, remember, and resist. The films in this showcase are eligible for both an Audience Award and a Jury Award, presented in partnership with the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI). Meet the directors, cast your vote, and stay for the party!
