Celebrating 50 Years of the Film Society of Lincoln Center

You're invited to the Film Society of Lincoln Center's 50th Anniversary Gala on Monday, April 29, 2019 in Alice Tully Hall. The special event–featuring guest speakers Martin Scorsese, Pedro Almodóvar, Tilda Swinton, John Waters, Jake Gyllenhaal, Marielle Heller, Dee Rees, and Darren Aronofsky–will honor the organization’s legendary past and vibrant present, and looking ahead as it extends its commitment to the film community.

The 50th Anniversary Gala will tell the story of the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s semi-centennial, reflecting and building upon the organization’s half-century introducing New York audiences to many of the industry’s most acclaimed and important filmmakers. The special guest speakers will present this history alongside a collection of interviews and archival footage, photographs, and film clips that will reflect upon the organization and its role in New York City film culture. In honoring the past, the evening will celebrate a film community that is helping to shape the future of our art form.

The Gala is the most important fundraising event of the Film Society’s landmark anniversary year, and all proceeds will benefit the organization in its mission to support the art and craft of cinema.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center is devoted to supporting the art and elevating the craft of cinema. The only branch of the world-renowned arts complex Lincoln Center to shine a light on the everlasting yet evolving importance of the moving image, this nonprofit organization was founded in 1969 to celebrate American and international film. Via year-round programming and discussions; its annual New York Film Festival; and its publications, including Film Comment, the U.S.’s premier magazine about films and film culture, the Film Society endeavors to make the discussion and appreciation of cinema accessible to a broader audience, as well as to ensure that it will remain an essential art form for years to come.
