SPECIAL FILM SCREENINGS

Film is at the heart of The Big Picture. This fall we’re bringing you a powerful lineup of
documentaries and festivals that spark conversation and community.
At the Bigger Picture Hub, film is more than entertainment—it’s a way to spark conversation,
share perspectives, and bring people together. Our special screenings feature a dynamic mix of documentaries, Q&As with directors, film festivals, outdoor recreation films and works by local filmmakers. From thought-provoking stories that raise social awareness to community celebrations of cinema, each event invites you to watch, reflect, and connect.
