As part of its 2017-18 film series, Partners Achieving Community Transformation (PACT) is bringing great cinema and local food together at the historic Lincoln Theatre, 769 E. Long St. The series highlights five films – celebrating over sixty years of diverse cinematic contributions to American filmmaking. The beginning of every film screening will feature a video about PACT, our partners, or a brief documentary on an individual who lives, works, or plays in the community.

The goal of the film-series is to showcase feature films and provide those in the community and outside the community the opportunity to explore The Near East Side. This year PACT honors Legends of Black Excellence. This theme emphasizes black excellence throughout history. The series will take place from October 21, 2017 to February 3, 2018.
