New York on Film

New York on Film is a screening series featuring films that highlight the history, culture and controversy that has defined the city over the years. Screenings are followed by conversations with notable figures who are involved with the film or the subject matter, allowing attendees to engage more deeply with the content. Proceeds are donated to a charitable organization of our speakers’ choice.
