Film at Lincoln Center is the nonprofit cinema at Lincoln Center — the 268-seat Walter Reade Theater at 165 West 65th Street and the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center across the street at 144 West 65th — and every fall it runs the New York Film Festival. The 64th NYFF runs September 25 through October 12, 2026: Main Slate premieres, the Currents and Revivals sections, gala screenings and talks, with tickets on sale from September 15 and standby lines at sold-out shows. The rest of the year the two buildings program new releases, restorations and retrospectives daily.
