CSCC Queen Bess Centennial Aviation Film Festival

May 2, 2026 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM (CDT)

Description

Celebrate 100 years of courage, innovation, and the future of flight at the first-ever aviation film festival in the world. This groundbreaking event honors aviation pioneer Bessie Coleman while spotlighting the next century of flight, from electric aircraft and eVTOLs to drones and sustainable aviation technology.

More than a festival, this milestone event positions the Southland region as a leader in aviation innovation and workforce development. By bringing industry experts, emerging technologies, filmmakers, educators, and families together, the festival supports regional economic growth, sparks STEM career pathways, and highlights opportunities within the expanding aviation and advanced air mobility sectors.

Guests will enjoy inspiring film screenings, youth and family STEM activities, presentations from the Tuskegee Airmen and Gigi Coleman, hands-on tech demonstrations, and a special screening of Discovering Bessie Coleman by Captain Beth Powell.

Join us as history and innovation take flight — and help shape a stronger, more vibrant economic future for the Southland.
