Reviews of Anthology Film Archives (Movie Theater)

Jason Westerkon

Never even knew this was here. Interesting yet comfortable older building, and a great spot to see a classic or unique film.

Dave Flaherty

I is difficult for me to put into words how much I love Anthology. They show incredible films (oftentimes actual projected films) that you just cannot see anywhere else. The Essential Cinema series is pretty much the best thing ever & is free for members. You should become a member today & go see some good movies.

Annie Pisapia

Coolest place for a premier

Peter Weiss

A great community resource for lovers of film, especially avant-garde and independent and local filmmakers.

Former Courthouse becomes the home for historic independent cinema.

Charle-John Cafiero

Obscure, art, independent, vintage films if you are intelligent and artistic this is the go to place to find those films.

Classic NYC institution- was here for the internet cat video festival (don't judge me)- hot in the summer- dress cool.

Sven Bilke

Such a gem.

Anand Pandya

Superbly curated film series in a charming but not overly fancy space.

Alexander Nichols

Just saw a movie premiere for an acquaintance of mine here! What a wonderful, little place!

Jim Freund

Great venue for independent cinema. An East Village landmark in an historic NY building. Friendly staff, nice auditorium.

Eric Werner

The best!

Amir Sedrak

can do better

Bryan Strang

Like if your school assemblies showed the weirdest and/or greatest movies ever made.

Van Dora Williams

A film festival in an historic building. Great character in the building. Theater was comfortable. AC needed to be a bit cooler.

Jeffrey Hamberg

Great selection of interesting movies

Brad Chanin

This place rules! So grateful for the contributions of Jonas Mekas. Wonderful art films and awesome filmmakers presenting their own films. Such a pleasure. You will be missed - but the legacy of Anthology soldiers on <3

Ethan Kogan

not a museum...just for screenings.

Peter Gerard

Wonderful art house cinema with great programming

Mary Rizzo

Legendary. Anthology Film Archives is not your Metrograph or Lincoln Center. It's old school. The lobby is freezing. The seats are threadworn. The audience is a mix of the elderly who saw the repertory screenings when they were first released and NYU film students (definitely prefer the former). Keeping film alive in NYC.

Devin Shepherd

If you're looking for the rustic film lover cinema, this is it! History abound - every filmmaker that ever came out of New York has screened here or been to a screening here. Always check out what's playing. You never know who will show up, but you can be certain they'll love movies just as much as you. Sure, it's small, but it's filled with love.

Jose Acevedo

Home for experimental, art and independent films.

Rink P

Fun little independent film theater

(Translated by Google) Great programming Forever. Hold Mekas! (Original) Gran programación. Siempre. ¡Aguante Mekas!

Norma Jean Campos

I bought tickets for the wrong day and they were kind enough to accept us for another showing.

Oscar Perez

Anthology is a cinematic landmark. Long live cinema!

Steve Bookman

An international leader in presenting cutting edge as well as unusual archival films to a sophisticated audience

Andrew David Greer

I've screened my film here and attended many screenings and festivals of my friends films. It's great that they offer big screens to low budget films and they are definitely a staple of the New York City indie film community. I will admit that the seats are uncomfortable especially if you're big like I am and the lack of air conditioning is just annoying. Still, I'm sure Ill.be here again and again. Check out their new filmmakers series if you're a young director.

Joshua Johnson

Amazing building. Great people run it.

MG Gro

Great theater.

Sarah Semlear

The venue itself is ok, a little dingy, but also not the worst theater I've been to in the city. The seats were pretty uncomfortable and the bathrooms are weird and kinda gross, one of them had water on the floor (at least I hope that's what it was). The screen is nice though, and positoned in a way that actually allows you to see over the potential tall person in front of you

Lucas Granero

The most important place in NYC

Matt Milligan

Great organization and theater. Unique programs and opportunities.

Greg Keras

Great cultural film center with a few theaters situated in an older structure with plenty of character.

Eric Lima

Anthology Film Archives brings the best in film, they don't care what kind of film it is as long as its good. You will see any film ever made, whether it was a cult classic or a home made movie, if it has any value as a film Anthology will show it.

Bryan Sannwaldt

A great place for new filmmakers and actors to get themselves out there!

Maciel M.

This place has always had stellar film showcases, but my major qualm are staff. Always has been. I've never felt comfortable around them, they're far from approachable and the last time I was there the ticket personnel who let me and my kid in whispered under his breath "I think you're here for the wrong film." I have a close film nerd friend who thinks the same, so it's just not me.

Jose Pedro Ortiz

Nice!!

pierre carrilero

Chris Adshead

Visited for bicycle film festival - nice little cinema.

Short Dogowski

I've walked by this building so many times but never really knew what it was. Come here for some really diverse and inspired films. I was lucky to catch a screening here with a Q&A session with Lou Reed. Amazing. A must for filmmakers and film-lovers. Yea punks not dead played here too.

Daniel Munro

If you are looking for quality cinema look anywhere else

Christopher Frankle

Best place to see a film in the city. I hope the renovations don't affect the current cinema focused atmosphere.

Kevin Kelly

Thanks For Jonas Mekas , for making This Place Happen !!! RIP

Cecile Yama

Unique films shown in a very architecturally interesting former courthouse and jail, mysterious rickety spiral staircase included. Cheap for students, only $9 tickets, which is unbeatable in New York, especially for films you'll have a hard time finding elsewhere. Saw "A Man Vanishes" which was a movie that boggled my mind. Theater itself is average in terms of comfort of seats, but I felt that it was easier to see the screen from all parts of the theater, possibly based on chair positioning, possibly based on elevation of the screen, even if theres a tall man with big hair sitting in front of you (usually a problem for people of my height). No snacks, so sneak your own :)

Bart Cortright

Great films, great community, very affordable.

Harshal Alurkar

One of the shrines for film lovers. A mecca for experimental & arthouse cinema. Most essential membership in NYC, because their Essential Cinema series is free for Members.
