Doors open 30 minutes before start time. Arrive early to avoid lines and get best seats. ADA compliant accessible venue. Refreshments available after the screenings.

Come see the winning films of our Young Filmmakers Contest. This year, we received a record number of entries. Enjoy the films, applaud the young filmmakers as they receive their prizes in several categories from elementary through college age, and learn about the nonprofit organizations they have chosen to receive matching grants. The three- to eight-minute films and 45-second (or longer) animations will cover energy, food, transportation, waste, water or open space/ecosystems. Stay for a reception with food to celebrate their achievements.

Founding Director of the Young Filmmakers Contest Sue Crothers Gee will announce the winners.

Families with children, as well as teens and young adults encouraged to attend.

Arrive one hour early to experiment with stop-motion work stations set up by Steve and Kate's Camp.
