NASA today invited filmmakers around the world to mine its 50 years of footage and make movies for an upcoming space-themed film festival.

Called CineSpace, the short films will be shown and judged in mid-November during Houston’s Cinema Arts Festival.

“Films featuring real NASA footage collected from 50 years of exploring the universe will be judged on the same creativity, innovation and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of spaceflight,” NASA wrote. “Works will compete for cash prizes and other recognition and the opportunity to be shown to audiences both on and off the Earth.”

The winner of the competition will get a $10,000 grand prize.
