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 movie theater open 365 days a year, with up to 250,000 annual admissions, nearly 500 seats, 60 employees, over 6,500 members, and an operating budget of $7 million. It is the only autonomous nonprofit cinema in New York City and one of the few in the United States. Founded in 1970, Film Forum was led for 51 years by Karen Cooper, under whom it grew from a weekend screening room into a four-screen cinema known for premiering independent and foreign films, many without American distribution. Bruce Goldstein established its repertory program in 1986. Tabitha Jackson, formerly director of the Sundance Film Festival, became director in February 2026.
