Films at the Gate 2013 PROGRAM BOOK FREE Kung fu films under the stars Friday to Sunday, September 13-15 Chinatown Gate Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway 7 pm Performances, 8 pm Feature Film

Films at the Gate 2013 Welcome Welcome to the 8th Annual Films at the Gate (Films) of Asian Community Development Corporation (ACDC). This free outdoor film festival started in 2006 to reclaim underutilized lots in Chinatown. We quickly outgrew the lot and are still located at the Gate but in Chinatown Park on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. We transform a public space into an outdoor movie theatre with cultural arts performances for the enjoyment of residents, local businesses and movie lovers.

This year Films coincides with the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, an important family holiday. Celebrate this festival with delectable mooncakes from one of the Chinese bakeries nearby. This intergenerational event harks back to the past when families went to the Chinese cinema which no longer exists in Boston’s Chinatown.

Check out a Chinatown Walking Tour by ACDC’s A-VOYCE youth. Grab your dinner and late night snacks at one of the local businesses in Chinatown and the Leather or Theatre Districts. Return to Chinatown not only for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Thai, and Vietnamese foods but also to experience the vibrancy and diversity of the neighborhood.

Take your picture with our very own panda mascot along with our displays of a kimono dress and ninja. Consider a membership to ACDC and join us at our Annual Dinner on November 12, 2013 at Hei La Moon Restaurant.

ACDC will break ground on One Greenway bringing 362 units of desperately needed housing into Chinatown. Join our efforts to preserve and revitalize Chinatown. Please make a donation to support this event and ACDC’s housing and youth programs. Drinks, popcorn and an exclusive Films at the Gate T-shirt are available for purchase while a donation box will be passed around during the event. Thank you for joining us tonight. Hope to see you again soon!

CHINATOWN WALKING TOUR

ACDC’s Chinatown Walking Tour is a perfect way to learn more about the culture and history of Boston Chinatown. It is one of our nation’s oldest residential Chinatowns. Learn about the people and community over the past 130 years. See landmarks and history in the making.

A-VOYCE youth leaders serve as tour guides. The tours are one component of ACDC’s youth leadership curriculum. Tours are offered throughout the year and serve to dispel the myths about Chinatown and take you behind-the-scenes.

Consider a Chinatown dining experience for an additional fee. Schedule a tour to experience Chinatown beyond its gate and storefronts. Reserve your tour by contacting us at 617.482.2380 x206 or avoyce@asiancdc.org.
