The Charlotte Film Society Announces Plans for New Art House Theater

The Charlotte Film Society announced that a new art house theater is in development, The Charlotte Observer reports.

The society has started a Go Fund Me campaign with a goal to raise $150,000 for equipment. Once the society feels the public is supportive of the decision, the three-screen art house theater is set to go in at 4237 Raleigh Street in Charlotte,

The theater will, according to The Charlotte Observer, "show independent, classic and foreign films, be a resource for filmmakers, host local film festivals and be an educational film hub, according to the film society."

The theater is expected to open next summer or fall.
