World Premiere of New Films by the Youth Documentary Academy

The Youth Documentary Academy presents the World Premiere of new films produced by the Class of 2024.

This year, we will be screening 13 new films across two screenings blocks: a 3pm afternoon block and a 6:30pm evening block. Your ticket includes admission to either or both blocks.

From immigration and body image to faith and family, from homelessness and namesakes to memory and motherhood (and more!), come watch impactful stories as diverse as the youth who tell them.

To continue the dialogue that begins in the theatre, our connections corridor of community groups will be tabling in the lobby, forming a lively town’s square, full of community resources. Food trucks will be available from 5-6pm in between screening blocks.

Come meet the amazing youth in our community who are opening the door to courageous conversations. See you at the movies!
