Asian Movie Theater

Using film as a tool to achieve community

Asian Media Access is currently developing plans for an Asian Movie Theater, the first of its kind in the midwest. Emphasizing grassroots needs and participation, the Theater aims to promote Asian art and culture and facilitate community expression and development. Its diverse programming will contain films from all parts of Asia and will incorporate a variety of educational and popular film genres.

The Theater's design will provide a non-intimidating community gathering space ideal for public forums, cultural dialogue, or unstructured mingling and discussion. Open to all members of the local Asian American and mainstream communities, this space will contribute to the cultural and artistic diversity of the Twin Cities and encourage an environment of inter-ethnic and inter-generational communication and understanding.
