The last 48 hours have been a whirlwind. The end of any community partnership often involves hurt feelings all around, and this is clearly no exception.

The cancellation of the screening on September 19th was due to a business partner, not a paid employee, refusing to follow our Code of Conduct on multiple occasions. Not because of a single complaint. Not because of content, but because we have guidelines which all our staff, customers, and partners must adhere to.

 

The Davis has reached out to the ACTA regarding this loss and our doors are open to work with them in the future. They have thus far chosen to keep ties severed. We would welcome the opportunity to work with any Chicago Tenants Rights Groups to host a screening and panel for renters to collectively come together and discuss current legislation and invite other neighborhood partners as resources. All proceeds from tickets sales will go to the Tenant Groups. 

The Davis Theater supports access to all genres and ratings of film. We do not censor films. Unless specifically instructed by the film’s distributor, the Davis does not provide advisories about subject matter or potential triggering content, as sensitivities vary from person to person. Films exhibited do not necessarily reflect the views of Davis Theater.

 

We are stronger together and we look forward to continuing our mission to unite our community through the art of cinema. Should our community have any questions or concerns, we are happy to answer them honestly and fully.

In solidarity,
Brittany, Co-Owner and Davis Theater Team
