What's On

Organized by Imagine Entertainment and The Film Zone, in partnership with Stand Together and the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream (MCAAD), the festival draws on each partner’s unique strength in elevating powerful stories, providing the tools, platform, and mission to inspire audience connection and community impact.

Every day, the Stand Together Theater shows a film specifically created for the space—America: Built on Dreams. In the 18-minute film, viewers follow five different people’s pursuit of their dreams.

Spend 15 minutes with us for insights about the American Dream through a single item. Every day we're open, we dive deeper into one story and why we illustrate it. Join a gallery guide who will meet you at the Tree of Generations and guide you to a Center highlight. You will learn more about the piece, how it fits into the center, and why we showcase it.

How do we talk about the American Dream? What did we include here to illustrate this concept? What are the four essential pillars to pursue your dream? Find out with one of our knowledgeable gallery guides as they lead you through our spaces to must-see items in this 45-minute tour of the American Dream Experience.

You're invited on an exclusive adventure inside the Perpetual Story Machine—a mind-bending fusion of technology and imagination where dreams don’t just play out—they come alive. Be transported to other times and places in this breathtaking Kenneth C. Griffin  Holodeck Experience—part escape room, part immersive film, all inspiration.
