The 19th annual Dallas International Film Festival (DIFF) is coming up soon, taking place at Victory Park’s Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas from April 25 through May 1. Besides the new venue (the fest’s main theater was Violent Crown Cinema in West Village for the past two years), this is also the first year that DIFF is an Academy Award Qualifying Festival. The Dallas International Film Festival is now only one of 181 film festivals worldwide and only 59 in the U.S. to have this designation.

In 2022, local writer and producer Peter Cooper shot his first feature film in Houston. His Texas-based production company, Superhawk Films, had rounded up British director Andy Delaney and actors Eric Nelsen (1883), Hannah James (Mercy Street), Jack Falahee (How to Get Away With Murder), Jack Thomas (the little brother in Lizzie McGuire) and more to create a low-budget, indie film completely filmed in Houston.
