Slant Film Festival

Slant Film Festival Bold Asian American Images (formerly Slant Film Festival) is an annual festival of short films in Houston organized by the Aurora Picture Show.

Slant: Bold Asian American Images is an annual festival of short films in Houston, Texas. Slant showcases an eclectic mix of the best short films made by emerging and mid-career Asian American artists. Through our film festival, artist talks, and live performances, we provide a fresh perspective on the Asian American experience. Slant was established in 2001 by Melissa Hung, the founding editor of

Hyphen, a magazine about Asian American culture. One of the longest-running festivals in Texas devoted to Asian American film and video art, the festival has screened more than a hundred films, many of them showing in Texas for the first time. From the beginning, Slant has made its home at the Aurora Picture Show, a nonprofit media arts center. In presenting this festival, Aurora explores the power of moving images in crafting identity and community.
