On Monday, the Houston Cinema Arts Festival Launch took place at Chapman & Kirby. This year’s 9th Annual Houston Cinema Arts Festival, which takes place Nov. 9 – 13, will have a renewed sense of purpose in the wake of Hurricane Harvey’s devastating impact on the City of Houston. HCAF17 will continue to thread all of Houston’s arts through the film in fresh and exciting ways, including the activation of unique partner venues and a firm commitment to Houston’s independent filmmakers. To that end, this year’s festival will showcase portraits of artists by Houston filmmakers. Two of the films will be world premieres by Houston directors,

whose subjects are important Houston visual artists. For more information visit www.houstoncinemaartsfestival.org.
