  WorldFest International Film Festival was founded 48 years ago as Cinema Arts, an International Film Society in August, 1961. WorldFest became the third competitive international film festival in North America, following San Francisco and New York. WorldFest is the oldest Independent Film & Video Festival in the World. It evolved into a competitive International Film Festival in April 1968. It was founded by award-winning producer/director Hunter Todd to present a quality film festival for the Independent filmmakers. Hunter Todd has been honored with more than 115 international awards for creative excellence in film production, and he has been the producer, director, writer and/or cameraman on more than 300 motion picture and video productions. The mission/vision statement of WorldFest is to recognize and honor outstanding creative excellence in film and video, to validate brilliant abilities and to promote cultural tourism for Houston, to develop film production in the region and to add to the rich cultural fabric of the city of Houston. All members of the WorldFest staff are filmmakers.
  
  WorldFest is one of the oldest and largest film and video competitions in the world, with more than 4,500 category entries received from 37 countries in 2007. Actually WorldFest is 12 Major film and video competitions in one event, unlike Cannes, Sundance and Toronto, which are just two competitions for shorts and features only. Because of our 12 major competitions and the more than 200 sub-categories, WorldFest does give a lot of awards, but they are both earned and deserved. No awards are given in any category unless the scores from the juries are high enough to place for honors. Overall only 15 to 20 percent of the total category entries actually win an award at WorldFest.
