San Marcos, TX
About the Event:
Lost River Film Fest – chiefly hosted in the magical, spring-fed river town of San Marcos, in Austin's outskirts – spotlights independent cinema from Feb 5-8, 2026 for our ninth year running!
Soaked in a youthful, progressive, small-town-Texas vibe, Lost River intends to prove a splendid cocktail of compelling cinema, live music, poetry performances & much more.
The film fest is presented by San Marcos Cinema Club, the 501c3 film society of the nation’s fastest growing town of its size — whom the San Marcos Arts Commission selected for its prestigious 2016 SMarts Award.
Lost River — titled for our town’s fictional name in the campy, locally shot, 1978 horror film PIRANHA — exhibits short films & features, yielded from an international open call for submissions.
