The Barrymore Film Center is a not-for-profit educational and cultural institution dedicated to presenting classic repertory films, documentaries, independent movies, world-wide cinema, and live shows promoting 21st Century filmmaking and the live performing arts through the prism of Fort Lee’s role as the Birthplace of the American Motion Picture Industry.
In October 2022, the Barrymore Film Center (BFC) opened its doors, fulfilling the vision of the Fort Lee Film Commission to establish a permanent home for Fort Lee’s cinematic heritage. Named after the renowned Barrymore family, the center houses a 250-seat theater for film screenings and events, as well as educational and cultural programming.
