World Premiere of New Films from the Youth Documentary Academy

Join us for the World Premiere of New Films from the Youth Documentary Academy! Eleven new bold works of art that will inspire, illuminate and surprise. This year’s class presents films on topics ranging from body image to black brotherhood, vaping to immigration, religion to single parenthood. And much more.

Plus join us in the lobby for our annual Connections Corridor where 20+ non-profits, media organizations and colleges will share valuable community resources and networking opportunities. Join our host and moderator, Ashley Cornelius, as she introduces us to the next generation of filmmakers in the Pikes Peak region. Meet our filmamkers in person and experience courageous storytelling that is as diverse as the artists who made them.

EVENT DETAILS: Doors to our Connections Corridor open at 2pm. An afternoon screening block will begin at 3pm. A VIP Reception and more mingling in our Connections Corridor from 5-6pm. An evening screening block (of different films) begins at 6pm. Join us for one or both screening blocks. Connect with friends and colleagues in our resource-rich Connections Corridor. And, consider purchasing a VIP ticket and the chance to meet the filmmakers privately as we celebrate them and all of YDA's supporters in Studio C. See you at the movies!
