A new local tradition, Films at the Gate converts a vacant lot near Boston’s Chinatown Gate into a free, outdoor theater showing Chinese-language films. Returning for a fifth year Aug 26-29, 2010. The Chinatown Storefront Library transformed one of Boston’s vacant street-level spaces into a temporary public library, featuring readings, talks, screenings, and events. Language Lab builds on the language learning programs and translation services used in the Storefront Library. We’re developing an experimental, outdoor walk-up program offering language learning opportunities.
