Gateway Film Center is a nonprofit cinema committed to supporting storytellers and amplifying the impact of their work in our community. We pride ourselves on the quality and quantity of independent, international, and acclaimed films we share on our screens, and highlighting the best stories during Awards Season is one of our favorite times of the year.
