Notable films to be screened include opening night film Red RocketC'mon, C'monThe Humans, and a 50th anniversary screening of Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song.

The festival will also feature the annual CineSpace short film competition with NASA, the new Borders | No Borders regional short film competition, and a new imagining of the festival’s guiding programming conceit: “local meets global.”

The festival will take place at multiple locations, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and Rice Cinema. There will also be virtual options for some films.
