Rockport Film Festival
October 30 - November 1
20th Annual Rockport Film Festival, Presented by Salemi’s ACE Hardware in the Rockport Conference Center (The ROCC)
The 19th Annual Rockport Film Festival, presented by Salemi’s Ace Hardware, honors the enduring power of cinema to connect communities and cultures. International in scope yet rooted in local spirit, the festival presents an exceptional selection of independent films from Texas and around the world, celebrating the art of storytelling through diverse voices and perspectives.
All films are independently produced outside of the Hollywood studio system, meaning they are privately financed projects that tend to be smaller in scale and budget. The annual cinematic event draws hundreds of locals and tourists alike each year, allowing patrons to enjoy films rarely seen elsewhere without waiting in long lines or traveling to multiple-theater venues. With support from the Texas Commission on the Arts, Aransas County, and the City of Rockport, the festival appeals to a local, regional, and statewide audience of filmmakers and enthusiasts during a generally off-season time for tourism.
