Where can I find upcoming film screenings at Yale?
Yale now offers a centralized resource for discovering film screenings across campus. You can find upcoming films on the Film at Yale website, which features a comprehensive calendar of Yale University screenings—including those presented by Films at the Whitney.
To stay up-to-date specifically on Films at the Whitney events, we also recommend joining our email list, which provides weekly updates on Whitney Humanities Center events and programs throughout the academic year.
I want to organize a film screening. Where do I start?
To get started, reach out to Marc Francis, Manager of Film Programming, Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Marc brings a wealth of experience from his work in film archiving, preservation, and servicing at Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers Discovery, and HBO. At Yale, he collaborates with students, faculty, and academic departments to curate dynamic, public-facing film and media programs that connect with the University’s vibrant curricula.
How can I get involved in Yale’s film community?
The best way to start is by contacting Marc Francis, Manager of Film Programming, Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Marc is an excellent resource for those interested in becoming more active in Yale’s film community, and he can guide you towards opportunities that match your interests. For Yale students, there are options to get involved as a (paid) usher for film screenings—just reach out to Marc to learn more. If you are a Yale College student, consider joining the Yale Film Society. And, of course, attending screenings across campus is a great way to stay connected!
Where are films screened on campus?
Humanities Quadrangle (320 York St.) is home to two large film screenings spaces: the Alice Cinema (L01) and the Lecture Hall (L02). Both film venues support a range of media formats, including 35mm and 16mm film and Digital Cinema Package (DCP). Public film screenings are also held in the 53 Wall Street Auditorium and in the Loria Center Room 250 (190 York St.).
I’m not a Yale affiliate. Can I attend films?
Screenings hosted by Films at the Whitney and by the Yale Film Archive are free and open to the public, as are many other screenings at Yale. If the publicity for a screening does not include an attendance policy, please check with the sponsoring department or program.
