The Eastside CineClub

Started in 2023, the EastSide CineClub (ESCC) was founded with the belief that cinema is not only a communal experience, but a way to enlighten and inspire. As such, we strive to cultivate community by way of culture and to create a space for film lovers, filmmakers, artists of all disciplines, and everyone in between to come together to share their love of cinema, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and by the end of a screening hopefully see their world a little differently.

At the ESCC we seek to curate diverse film programming, screening films that touch upon relevant issues, such as gentrification, policing, urban renewal, and race relations to list a few, as well as host immersive in-person discussions. We profoundly value and strive to reflect the community we serve. This commitment towards building an equitable, inclusive, anti-racist, anti-misogynist film culture open and accessible to all is what guides the ethos of the ESCC.
We hope you can join us for a film or two, and as the old saying goes, “We’ll see you at the movies!”
