The Big Tell Showcase 2026
Wed Nov 18, 2026 7:00pm Doors, 8:00pm Show - All Ages
Celebrate 10 years of The Big Tell with an evening of short documentaries created by Central Valley filmmakers.
Join us for a special evening celebrating a decade of Central Valley storytelling and the filmmakers who have helped make The Big Tell what it is today.
The Big Tell Showcase brings this year’s original short documentaries to the big screen, featuring stories from across Fresno, Merced, Madera, Mariposa, Kings, and Tulare counties. After months of researching, filming, and editing, this year’s filmmakers are ready to share their work and introduce audiences to the people, places, and experiences at the heart of their stories.
Come watch the films, meet the filmmakers, and celebrate this milestone with the community that has helped The Big Tell grow over the past 10 years.
This showcase is free and open to all. Let’s celebrate 10 years of The Big Tell, 10 years of local filmmakers, and 10 years of Central Valley stories.
The Big Tell 2026 is presented by the James B. McClatchy Foundation, the Central Valley Community Foundation, and ValleyPBS.
