Free Community Cinema event tomorrow night

Please join Hands On Charlotte tomorrow night for a Community Cinema event at Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte.

After each screening, we will hold a brief discussion about how the documentaries apply to our community and our daily lives. Admission to the event is free.

Community Cinemas are fast becoming one of the most popular forms of community service globally. Through film, communities around the world are having conversations with each other and with themselves, taking lessons from other places and applying them at home. In uncertain times, these discussions are more important now than ever. We invite you to join us tomorrow night at Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte for one of the city’s first Community Cinema events.

Hands On Charlotte is adding a new element to our MLK Week of Service – a Community Cinema.

We all know the power of films. Films have the ability to call up emotions in one’s self that we did not even know we had (which is my excuse for crying during ‘Titanic’). Films allow us to see how we are related to other people and ideas.

At our Community Cinema event, a group of individuals from the community will join together to watch one of three films. After each screening, we will hold a brief discussion on how the films relate to our lives and the broader Charlotte community.

Join us Sunday, January 16 at Actor’s Theatre of Charlotte for a double screening from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. We’ll start with A Village Called Versailles and end with Deep Down.
