2024 CYA Film Showcase

A very special one-night-only screening of awardee films presented by The Bay Area Creative Foundation.

The Bay Area Creative Foundation (BACF) celebrates, cultivates, and inspires creativity in youth and young adults. The Creative Youth Awards (CYA) is an annual program of the BACF that awards high school artists across seven creative disciplines: Creative Writing, Dance, Film, Music Performance, Original Music, Photography, and Visual Arts.

On Monday August 5th, the BACF will spotlight filmmaker awardees with a screening of all 30+ 2024 awardee films. Each film is a maximum of 5 minutes long and showcases a wide range of storytelling and cinematic styles including animation, documentary, and dramatic fiction. Themes cover the human experience of love, life and everything in between including loss, transformation, and inspiration. 

The program will include a panel discussion with 2024 CYA Film Review Panelists; filmmaker, Amanda Beane; film programmer, Joanne Parsont; and Pixar animation layout artist, Matthew Silas who will talk about their journeys in film and what advice they would give young filmmakers.
