CMAC Youth Voices Film Screening

FREE EVENT | Saturday, September 6, 2025 | Maya Cinemas | Doors open at 1 p.m.

Join us for the 2025 Youth Voices Documentary Film Screening, a free community event that spotlights the powerful stories and creative talents of our local youth.

Over the past 10 weeks, high school students from across the Central Valley have been learning the art of documentary filmmaking through CMAC’s Youth Voices program. They’ve done it all, from brainstorming and storyboarding to filming, editing, and interviewing, and now, they’re ready to share their stories on the big screen.

You’ll experience 12 original short documentaries that explore deeply personal experiences, community issues, and social topics that matter. These films are honest, bold, and refreshingly authentic, all told from the perspective of the next generation of storytellers.

This screening is the grand finale of months of hard work, heart, and hustle, and you’re invited to witness it all.

This program is made possible through a partnership with The California Endowment. For more information, please contact us at [email protected] or call us at 559.266.2622.
