SUBMISSION OPPORTUNITIES

Admit One

Do you remember going to the movies? The popcorn, the endless trailers, the red cushions that you sink into in that moment when you are completely transported…
That nostalgia for the cinema has driven a new collaboration between FLATS and the Houston Cinema Arts Society. We’re showcasing Texas filmmakers through the lens of the analog. The “real” quality of celluloid is resurging in major motion pictures, and we want to shine a spotlight on the traditional formats that started the magic of movies.
