About
The Greater Park Circle Film Society is a 100% volunteer-run, 501(c)3 nonprofit. It was founded
in August of 2008 by four people who live and work in Park Circle, and set out with three main
goals:
 To present films not shown in local commercial theaters
 To educate about the art of film
 To foster civic engagement and community outreach
 To be a different kind of Charleston Art House
Values
Film is an art experience, with a unique ability to bring people together and strengthen
community ties. It is a shared experience that adds meaning, value, and relevance to our lives.
We celebrate and promote the artistic elements of the medium, nurture and promote the art of
filmmaking, and enlarge the public square through collaboration and dialogue.
Mission
Our mission is to screen quality films, educate the public, and engage in community
development.
Vision
The Greater Park Circle Film Society has a vision to become an anchor for film and community
in the Lowcountry. We seek to showcase local, national, and international filmmakers. We
connect aspiring filmmakers with each other and with investors; further community development
through collaborations with neighborhoods and other non-profits; and advance knowledge and
appreciation about cinema and the filmmaking process.
