 The HGLFF does not use a curator; instead, each venue books its own films from submissions and projects they pursue independently.An advisory board facilitates organization of the films and events – an undertaking that begins almost a year in advance.Striving to make the Festival accessible to the entire population of the greater Houston area, the two-week festival has screenings at Landmark Theatres, Angelika Film Center, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Rice Cinema (at Rice University), DiverseWorks Art Space, and Aurora Picture Show.
