Celebrate 10 years of The Big Tell with an evening of short documentaries created by Central Valley filmmakers right here at the Tower Theatre on Wednesday, November 18th!

Doors open at 7pm, and the program begins at 7:30pm.

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 CMAC, The James B. McClatchy Foundation, Central Valley Community Foundation, and ValleyPBS.

Join us for Minnesota Neighbors: A Film Screening & Panel Discussion Friday, October 23rd. Doors at 6:30pm // Film begins at 7:30pm.

Not In Our Town’s new film Minnesota Neighbors profiles the brave actions of Minnesota residents during ICE’s Operation Metro Surge this winter.

Millions of people watched the escalating level of racial profiling and violence in Minnesota this winter during ICE’s Operation Metro Surge. In the aftermath of two killings of U.S. citizens by federal agents, tens of thousands of Minnesotans used their voices, presence and know-how to stand in compassion with those who were harmed and affirm their commitment to democracy and the rule of law. Portraits in Minnesota Neighbors include immigrants bravely speaking up, clergy, journalists, teachers, local officials, doctors, restaurateurs, unions, business owners, and families who overcame their own fears to stand up for each other and for our freedoms as Americans. Their stories provide guidance, hope, and inspiration for communities everywhere.

Central Valley Neighbors: Spectrum of Solidarity

The film will be followed by a panel of local leaders who will speak to the spectrum of solidarity for Fresno (and Central Valley) Neighbors. Facilitated by Christine Barker-Dominguez of Fresno Immigrant and Refugee Ministries - FIRM, Jagmeet Singh from Jakara Movement, Nkauj Iab Yang from Cal Defense and Nora Zaragoza-Yañez from Faith in the Valley will share reflections on the film, the present realities in the Valley and opportunities for local action.

Proceeds from the film after costs will support travel funds for people being released from detention across our region.

This screening has been made possible by a partnership between Not In Our Town, Tower Theatre, FIRM (Fresno Immigrant and Refugee Ministries) and the Jakara Movement with the support of Sierra Health Foundation and Central Valley Community Foundation.

JUST ANNOUNCED: Ettore Buzzini will perform at the Tower Theatre Lounge on Thursday, November 12th with Faultliner Bluegrass!

Doors at 6pm // Show at 7pm
Ticket link in the comments!

At just 18, award-winning banjoist Ettore Buzzini is already a well-known name among bluegrass audiences on the East Coast. A dynamic hybrid banjoist, Ettore’s music is a captivating blend of traditional bluegrass, classical romance, and a modern string punch, bringing youthful energy and a fresh perspective to the genre. He has recorded with some of bluegrass’ most respected artists, including Danny Paisley, Mark Schatz, Michael Cleveland, and Chris McHenry. Now, by popular demand, Ettore makes his West Coast debut, bringing his acclaimed live show to California for the first time.

Faultliner’s mix of traditional ballads, bluegrass classics, and timeless originals has made them today’s most in-demand bluegrass band in Southern California. They draw inspiration from across the spectrum of bluegrass and old-time music, new and old. The band consists of four of LA’s finest acoustic musicians: Jared Tashjian on mandolin, Jace Mason on guitar, Taylor Estes on bass, and Jeramy Ott, winner of the 2024 Topanga Banjo Contest. While their instrumental prowess is undeniable, their harmony singing is what sets them apart, harkening back to the early brother-duets of another time. No two Faultliner songs sound the same, yet every show lands with the right amount of familiarity and spontaneity. Bluegrass die-hards and bluegrass first-timers all agree, a band such as Faultliner is exactly why we love to see real-life people play real-life music.
