Film Forum

The Film Forum is a nonprofit movie theater at 209 West Houston Street in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City.

It is a four-screen cinema open 365 days a year, with 280,000 annual admissions, nearly 500 seats, 60 employees, 4,500 members, and an operating budget of $5 million.

In 2018, the Film Forum had a major renovation, adding new seats (and in turn, more leg room) and a fourth theater.

Filmmakers such as Agnès Varda, D. A. Pennebaker, Christopher Nolan, Kelly Reichardt, Ramin Bahrani and many others have praised the theater and its programming.

[3] Director and actor André Gregory said in 2022, "If New York lost the Statue of Liberty, it would not be a real loss, but if Film Forum disappeared, it would be absolutely heartbreaking.
