The WHOLE Festival Experience
This year, WorldFest-Houston is reimagining what a film festival can be by inviting you to go behind the lens and into the lives of the creators. We believe that supporting the artist as a "whole human being" is the best way to support the art itself.
Wellness for Everyone
Feeling the intensity of the festival week? Join us for WorldFest Wellness. We are offering unique opportunities to slow down and reconnect through yoga, sound baths, and dedicated rest spaces. It’s a chance for audiences and creators alike to care for their nervous systems between high-energy screenings.
Live from the Village
Through an exciting new collaboration with Captiv Studios, we are bringing a live podcast studio right into the WorldFest Village. You can watch recorded conversations with filmmakers and industry leaders as they happen, giving you real-time insight into the creative process and the stories behind the films.

Plan Your Stay
Make a vacation of it! We have secured preferred rates at the Westin Houston Memorial City (a 5-minute walk to the theater) and the luxurious Hotel ZaZa. Come for the films, but stay for the community and connection
