URBAN-15 is happy to announce a collaboration with Film San Antonio at this year’s Josiah Media Festival Locals Only Screening. Beginning at 1pm on January 25th, Film San Antonio will resume their Coffee Talk networking mixer series, an opportunity to connect with film professionals from around San Antonio, the San Antonio Film Commission’s team, local film educators, and emerging filmmakers.

All attendees are invited to stay afterward for this year’s Locals Only Screening of the Josiah Media Festival, kicking off the same day at 2:30pm. Featuring several films from around South-Central Texas, the screening will highlight some of the best work that young filmmakers from around the San Antonio area have produced over the last year.

URBAN-15 carefully selected films created by artists all throughout south-central Texas, including Austin, Houston and San Antonio. These were chosen from among the hundreds of Josiah Media Festival submissions due to their innovative filmmaking, gripping storytelling, and local origin. The screening will culminate with an awards ceremony, during which winning filmmakers will be presented with prizes for their important contributions to the local film industry. URBAN-15 invites friends, family, and film lovers of all kinds to attend this celebration, meet the filmmakers, and learn more about the developing film industry in San Antonio.

The 18th Josiah Media Festival premiered on December 16th, and will continue streaming until Saturday February 8th, 2025 at urban15.org/live-stream. All 50 films are being streamed in five blocks, rotating every 48 hours. For a full schedule of these blocks, please visit urban15.org/2024-schedule.
