texas water foundation presents
the 9th annual water, texas film FESTIVAL

 

TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 2024

Water, Texas is a concept, an idea, it’s even a place if you want it to be. It’s anywhere you can think of in the Lone Star State where water matters. Water, Texas is everywhere. From the Davis Mountains to Matagorda Bay, we know that water is the lifeblood of Texas. It supports our landscapes, our lifestyle and our economy. Because everything we love about Texas is rooted in our water, we want to hear your water stories. What does water mean to you?

Austin Film Society’s Cinema was packed as more than 150 film and water enthusiasts joined Texas Water Foundation to screen the winning submissions to this year’s festival, and enjoy a sneak peek and panel discussion around the upcoming PBS docuseries, Chasing the Tide. This year’s winners can be viewed below. We would love to see what water + Texas means to you! Submission for the 2025 Water, Texas Film Festival open soon!
