Las Cruces Public Schools invites the LCPS community to experience the excitement of the 2026 Tell the Story Film Showcase, a two-night celebration of student filmmaking that promises creativity and imagination. The theme this year is “Superheroes.”
The annual film showcase shines a spotlight on the incredible storytelling talents of students from elementary through high school. In each division, students are given specific creative challenges, including required lines and props, all within a limited timeframe. The result is a collection of innovative, entertaining, and often surprising films that highlight both teamwork and artistic vision.
The 2026 Tell the Story Film Showcase will be at Cineport 10 Allen Theatres, 700 S. Telshor Blvd., on Wednesday, April 29 & Thursday, April 30. The red-carpet walk will begin at 5:00 p.m. Screenings for student films will follow throughout the evening at 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m., and 8:00 p.m., offering audiences a front-row seat to a wide range of original student productions.
Non-competitive student films will be shown on night one, while the second night will feature films submitted for the student competition.
The competition includes three fast-paced and creative divisions:
• 168-Hour Film Competition (Elementary School)
• 98-Hour Film Competition (Middle School)
• 48-Hour Film Competition (High School)
The 2026 Tell the Story LCPS Film Showcase is proudly sponsored by Allen Theatres and the LCPS Foundation. For additional details, including a full schedule of screenings, please refer to the attached invitation and program.
The event will take place tonight, April 24, at 6:00 PM at the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum, located at 4100 Dripping Springs Road.
