About this Event
New Growth is the second chapter in The Scene’s 2026 film event series—an evening dedicated to stories of renewal, transformation, and the courage to begin again.
Join filmmakers, creatives, and film lovers for a curated screening of powerful short films that explore what it means to evolve, rebuild, and step into new possibilities. From personal reinvention to artistic breakthroughs, these stories highlight the beauty and challenge of growth.
Beyond the screening, New Growth creates space for meaningful connection within the film community. Meet fellow filmmakers, share ideas, discover new collaborators, and engage in conversations about storytelling, creativity, and the journey of becoming.
Whether you’re a director, writer, actor, producer, editor, or simply someone who loves film, this event invites you to connect, be inspired, and celebrate the power of new beginnings.
