Films at the Gate

Join us for ACDC’s annual 3-day outdoor film festival, Films at the Gate! Come watch classic kung fu films and enjoy live performances! Films at the Gate runs August 23-25th, 5:30-9:30 PM each night at Auntie Kay and Uncle Frank Chin Park.

Every summer ACDC runs Films at the Gate (FatG), a youth-run outdoor film festival at Chin Park. FatG revives the tradition of old Chinatown movie theaters and brings community members of all ages and backgrounds together at the historic Chinatown Gate. The 3-day festival promotes intergenerational bonding through live performances and introducing Kung Fu and classic Chinese films to a new generation. It also activates Chinatown public spaces as safe, clean, and enjoyable for all, and builds up youth leadership in the community.
