About Community Cinema

Hands On Ogeechee has partnered with ITVS, the Independent Television Service, to produce Community Cinema in Southeast Georgia. ITVS's flagship monthly series presents free socially conscious film screenings in communities from coast to coast. Each month, Community Cinema screenings offer special sneak previews of films scheduled for upcoming broadcast on the Emmy Award-winning PBS series Independent Lens. All Community Cinema screenings feature panel discussions with leading community-based organizations, special guest speakers, information and resources, and other programming designed to help people learn about and get involved in some of today's key social issues.

Screening participants will have the opportunity to see the films prior to the national air dates and engage with local leaders, nonprofits, and peers who have similar interests and passions. ITVS Community is currently producing monthly screenings in collaboration with partner organizations and local public television stations in over 20 markets nationwide.
