The Houston Underwater Film Festival (HUFF) aims to promote underwater filmmaking and appreciation of the beauty and diversity of all things underwater as well as encouraging the art of underwater videography. Underwater videographers from around the world have submitted entries in five categories: Short Video, Environmental, Art House Flicks, Made in Texas, and Feature Length. The top three films in each category, as selected by audience vote, will be announced at the Awards Banquet on Sunday, April 30 at 5:30 PM in the Gallery at MATCH.

All are welcome to attend.

The HUFF is sponsored by the Houston Underwater Photographic Society (HUPS).
