Our audience recognizes that a nonprofit cinema does not operate like a commercial movie chain.

 

$5.4 million is Film Forum's annual operating budget. $2.5 million or 47% of the budget comes from contributions including memberships and donations. 76% of our budget goes directly toward putting films on screen.
