Films at the Gate is a collaborative project of several Chinatown residents, businesses and ACDC.

The event seeks to:

• 1) increase awareness of ACDC's community programs
• 2) improve awareness of Boston's Chinatown as a site of cultural activity
• 3) restore a tradition of shared, public experience of Chinese-language films in Chinatown
• 4) provide temporary community use of Chinatown's underutilized spaces draw foot-traffic to neighborhood restaurants and make downtown Boston a destination beyond the working hours
