Welcome to the 9th Annual Films at the Gate (FATG) brought to you by 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. Here we transform a public space into an outdoor movie theatre with cultural arts performances for the enjoyment of residents, local businesses and movie lovers. 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. Check out ACDC’s programs such as Asian Voices of Organized Youth for Community Empowerment (A-VOYCE), Chinatown Walking Tour or ACDC’s first-time homebuyer program (the only HUD-approved housing counseling program in New England offered in both Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese). Consider a membership to ACDC and join us at our Annual Dinner & Meeting on November 18, 2014 at Hei La Moon Restaurant.

ACDC’s newest mixed income, mixed use development is One Greenway, a partnership between ACDC and New Boston Fund. It is currently underconstruction and will bring 363 units (40 % affordable) 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 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!

歡迎參加亞美社區發展協會（ACDC）第9屆華埠牌樓電影節! 自2006年起我們利用華埠社區的空地來播放露天華語電影，因觀眾逐年增加,很快地移到羅絲甘乃迪的華埠公園。我們把公共空間變成了戶外電影院，讓附近居民和遊客能夠享受文化藝術表演。

除了看電影外，也可在華埠、皮革區或劇院區 享受美味的晚餐 和宵夜，重回華埠不只是為了美味的中餐、日本餐、馬來西亞餐、泰國餐和越南餐，還感受到社區的活力和多元化的特色。

亞美社區發展協會提供不同項目：青少年課後活動、華埠導覽團、首次買房學習班（在紐英倫地區只有我們提供廣東話和普通話的買房學習班），歡迎加入我們，成為會員和參加11月18日在喜臨門酒家舉辦的週年晚宴。

亞美社區發展協會和新波士頓基金合作在華埠發展24地段，將會提供363間房屋（其中可負擔房屋佔四成），請繼續維護和振興華埠，捐款給亞美社區發展協會平價住房企劃以及青少年活動。電影放映期間可購買飲料、爆米花和T恤，而捐款箱也不時傳來傳去，請慷慨捐囊，感謝你們今晚的參與，期望再次見到你們！

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 of this community. Consider adding a Chinatown dining experience. Schedule a tour to experience Chinatown beyond its gate and storefronts. Reserve your tour by contacting us at 617.482.2380 x204 or [email protected].
