Leave Your Legacy at the Uptown Film Center

Be a part of history and contribute to the restoration and launch of theĀ  Uptown Film Center by participating in our Name a Seat campaign.

Your Name on a Seat. Your Mark on History.

Honor a loved one, celebrate a milestone, or commemorate your family’s connection to cinema with a personalized brass name plate on a theater seat.  Individual or collective tributes are welcome!  Ask us about a customizable link to request a crowd-sourced contribution.

$5,000 per seat secures your legacy in the theater of your choice:

Theater 1: The go-to spot for repertory, classic films, and film festivals.
Theater 2: The home for new independent, documentary, and international films.

More than a plaque, your contribution brings us one seat closer to realizing the dream of an arthouse in Upper Manhattan; it’s a permanent mark of your dedication to cinema, to the revitalization of our neighborhood, and to a new arts institution in our community.

If you would like a customizable link to request a crowd-sourced contribution or if you have any further questions, please contact us at 646-876-2402 or development@uptownfilm.org,
