After an incredible first year, the Houston International Sports Film Festival returns to Houston Feb. 3-6, 2022! HISFF 2022 will continue to build on the momentum from last year with our educational programming and elevate Houston’s presence in the sports and entertainment industries. We strongly believe film is the most powerful way to educate people on important issues.

This year, our featured causes will be Mental Health, Equality, and Women in Sports. We will help students create short films on the 1936 Olympics, which will allow them to explore the relationship between Black and Jewish athletes and the impact sports has had in fighting racism and anti-semitism. We will have similar initiatives for all of our main causes this year including a contest asking college students to create a short film on the first Black athlete from a sport at their school.

Film submissions are currently open, so please submit your film via our FilmFreeway Portal today! You can support this powerful programming by making a donation to HISFF!
