Support Film at Lincoln Center

As a nonprofit, our programming is possible only with your generous support.

Across seven decades, Film at Lincoln Center has remained dedicated to celebrating cinema as a powerful and essential art form. Your support helps us bring extraordinary films and filmmakers to audiences from all walks of life—transporting them across cultures, eras, and perspectives through the magic of the screen.

Your donation makes possible:

  • Year-round screenings of bold, independent, and international films that might not otherwise reach New York audiences.
  • Free student programs that introduce junior high and high school students to global cinema, with filmmaker Q&As and curated discussion guides that foster critical thinking and cultural awareness.
  • In-person opportunities for filmmakers to share their work with wider audiences.
  • Publication of the Film Comment Letter and Podcast, keeping film lovers connected to the latest in film criticism and thought.
  • A vibrant home for filmmakers, cinephiles, and first-time festivalgoers to come together around a shared love of film.

Donate

All gifts are tax-deductible and will ensure Film at Lincoln Center remains a vibrant community.
