ACME Comedy Theatre was founded in 1989 as a place for comedians to perform and be discovered. Since then, ACME has helped launch the career of hundreds of comedy writers, directors, producers, and actors.
Today, ACME continues to be a place for comedy performers and writers to be discovered. These days though, new talent is more often discovered through online videos, so ACME developed a new screening series. The screening series is dedicated to bringing the upcoming stars of comedy video to the big screen via ACME Comedy’s own film festival.
In the Summer of 2017 we will be screening films in June, July, August
We are excited to bring a whole new class of comedic talent to the ACME Comedy Theater.
“Territorio Flamenco” is created with the aim of promoting through the cinema another view regarded to the Flamenco as cultural heritage.
This program responds to the intention of dealing with the Flamenco from its cultural environment, anthropologic and social, with special attention to the role of the woman though its evolution.
We want that it would be a tool that open the door to the perception and vision that Spanish artists and world audiovisual artists have from the Flamenco. For this reason, we will give priority to the accessible suggestions to people with audible or visual disabilities.
