Program accomplishments

  • AS AN ARTISTIC AND CULTURAL MEDIUM, FILM CONNECTS PEOPLE ACROSS MULTIPLE SOCIAL SPECTRUMS. THE ORGANIZATION MAKES THAT CONNECTION AND EXECUTES ITS VISION AT THE KAN-KAN CINEMA, A 3-SCREEN ARTHOUSE THEATER IT OWNS AND OPERATES ON THE CITY'S NEAR EASTSIDE. AT THE KAN-KAN CINEMA, THE ORGANIZATION SERVES THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND WIDER CITY AUDIENCES WITH AN EVER-CHANGING MIX OF INDEPENDENT CINEMA, FILM & ARTS EDUCATION, PANEL-LED CONVERSATIONS OF SOCIAL IMPORTANCE, NEW WORKS FROM LOCAL AND REGIONAL FILMMAKERS, FILM-BASED PRESENTATIONS BY OTHER AREA NOT-FOR-PROFITS AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED EVENTS. MANY OF THE FILMS SHOWN AT THE KAN-KAN NEVER APPEAR IN INDIANAPOLIS-AREA COMMERCIAL CINEMAS. THE ORGANIZATION'S FILMS CROSS EVERY GENRE AND INCLUDE DOCUMENTARIES, CLASSIC AND INTERNATIONAL FILMS. ADDITIONALLY, THE ORGANIZATION EXHIBITS FILMS IN OTHER COMMUNITIES LACKING THEATRICAL VENUES AND SUPPORTS OTHER NOT-FOR-PROFIT ARTISTIC ACTIVITIES IN ITS LOCAL COMMUNITY. MORE BROADLY, THE ORGANIZATION SEEKS TO CREATE A SAFE AND WELCOMING SPACE FOR SHARED EXPERIENCES WHILE SPARKING AUDIENCE AND COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS.
