Films at the Gate (8/26-8/29)

Films at the Gate is a four night film series that transforms a vacant lot near Boston’s Chinatown Gate into a free, outdoor theater, showing Kung-Fu and classic Chinese-language films. This year, Films at the Gate will expand and show films at the nearby Chinatown Park on the Rose Kennedy Greenway.  Films at the Gate is a collaborative project of Chinatown residents, Boston Street Lab, and the Asian Community Development Corporation.

The series seeks to:

• Improve awareness of Boston’s Chinatown as a site of cultural activity.
• Restore a tradition of shared, public experience of Chinese-language films in Chinatown.
• 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.
