The Folklife Storytellers Workshop is a multimedia cohort of interns dedicated to creative documentation and presentation of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Together, this group of students and recent graduates has spent the past seven months shooting and editing a feature-length documentary film, producing a podcast series, and writing articles for the Festival Blog, all about the 2025 Festival and its "Youth and the Future of Culture" program.

The full-length feature documentary, "CTRLxALTxHERITAGE," will premiere early in 2026—but for now, enjoy this preview.
