Previously facilitated by the SXSW Film & TV team, the SXSW EDU Texas High School Short Film program elevates and supports future filmmakers and their short films. The program seeks submissions of short films under 5 minutes in length that have been directed and produced by a student enrolled in a Texas high school as of March 9, 2026. There will be an opportunity to learn more about the filmmakers and their process during a Q&A after the screening.
The 2026 Texas High School Short Film program will take place as part of the SXSW EDU Film program running March 9-12 in Austin, Texas.
