Film at Lincoln Center, previously known as the Film Society of Lincoln Center until 2019,[1] is a film society based in New York City, United States. Founded in 1969 by three Lincoln Center executives—William F. May, Martin E. Segal and Schuyler G. Chapin[2]—the film society spotlights American independent cinema and world cinema, and recognizes and supports new filmmakers.[3] The Film Society of Lincoln Center is one of the eleven resident organizations at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
