BC Culture Days

As part of the Luminaries Program, this screening event as a part of BC Culture Days is held annually in the fall.

We are thankful to the City of Delta for sponsoring BC Culture Days and the 2026 BC Youth Storyteller’s Contest.

This year’s BC Culture Days event was October 4, 2026 at North Delta Centre for the Arts.

This event was designed to engage, uplift, and inspire youth and emerging filmmakers through storytelling, dialogue, and creative exchange. The program centres young voices and provides meaningful access to the filmmaking ecosystem through both presentation and participation.

Programming included:

• Screenings of several short films and selected film trailers by emerging and established filmmakers
• Film screening blocks, each followed by a moderated filmmaker Q&A focused on craft, process, and pathways into the industry
• Facilitated information sessions and interactive workshops introducing and detailing the BC Youth Storyteller’s Contest, supporting youth in developing and submitting their own creative work
• Dedicated networking time for youth and emerging filmmakers to connect with peers, mentors, and industry professionals

This event was designed to be welcoming, accessible, and aspirational, offering young creatives a supportive space to learn, ask questions, and envision their next steps in film and storytelling.
