ACC Cinematheque Opening Program : “ Cine Commune ” 
 ACC Cinematheque Opening Program 
 The “ Cine Commune ” begins its journey . 
 The ACC Cinematheque expands on the ACC Film and Video Archive ( formerly , the Experimental Films in Asia Archive and the Video Art in Asia Archive ) . 
 The ACC Film and Video Archive has been focusing on researching and collecting resources for the archive and organizing small - scale cinema programs . It has now been expanded to the ACC Cinematheque so that it can support more experimental filmmakers in Asia and provide the audiences with more screening programs . 
 The ACC Cinematheque provides access to a wide range of films , focusing on experimental films , documentaries , and media art pieces that are rarely found in multiplex movie theaters today . It will also support and introduce filmmakers who adhere to their own artistic vision and worldview unperturbed by the institution . 
 Any advancement in cinema begins with experimental works ignored by the public because they are unfamiliar or difficult . 
 “ Cine Commune , ” the first - ever program of the cinematheque , envisions a community of filmmakers who create innovative and experimental films without being swayed by society , politics , and established ideas , and the cinephiles who hold them dear . 
 Come to the ACC Cinematheque to join the commune of free films and films of the future .
