From the festival organizers post on our calendar of events:  "There are two screening locations, one in Lajitas and one in Terlingua. The Flat Rock Theatre in Lajitas is set up as a small traditional movie theatre. There’s even a popcorn machine in the lobby. The Starlight Theatre has been the site of several indie film premieres—there is a screen that hangs at the back of the stage, PA system, and a full-service restaurant and bar.

Flat Rock Theatre, Lajitas

Enter your short film (less than 65 minutes) in the contest to win cash and prizes. The judges will be looking at your story and how well you tell it. You can submit your film digitally or on DVD. If you make the semi-finals and we screen your film, you’ll need to provide a DVD.

There are several art galleries in Terlingua and Lajitas, and the Starlight Theatre hosts regular art openings and photograph exhibits. That’s where the semi-finalists work will be displayed.
Terlingua has a thriving music scene. The Starlight Theatre and Lajitas Resort have hosted Alejandro Escovedo, Joe Ely, Restless Kelly, Butch Hancock, Greezy Wheels, Steve Fromholtz, Rambling Jack Elliot, and many others.
Enter your song in the songwriting by sending us an MP3 or CD. The level of production is up to you. Our judges will be focusing on the song. Do your lyrics tell your story? Does the melody fit that story? Semi-finalists will have the opportunity to present their songs live on stage at the Festival.
