All 32 Houston films will be screened in one night, 28 June, at the TBH Center, in two groups of 16 films each, 7:00 and 9:30. The audience votes on their three favorites in each group, resulting in the Audience Award. Then the "Best Of" judges selections will be screened on 26 July at the same place. The best films worldwide are screened at "Filmapalooza", the last one in Paris, France in March of this year. Some are also shown at the Cannes Film Festival.
