Film Forum opened in 1970 as an alternative screening space with fifty folding chairs, one projector, and a $19,000 annual budget. Fast forward to today, and the theater is the only autonomous non-profit cinema in New York City. Film Forum remains a hot button for cinema junkies and features an array of hard to find movies and genres: foreign and American classics, documentaries, directors’ retrospectives, and festivals. Expect to find everything from Hitchcock to Truffaut, African documentaries, Mick Jagger trying to act in a hot tub, and cultural explosions from all ends of the globe.
