SUPPORT THE FILM FOREVER FUND

As film prints become more difficult to secure and distributors invest in them less, the cost of screening on film has increased significantly in the last several years—but we're committed to presenting this historically important medium as often as we can. The Film Forever Fund is vital to our ability to continue screening on film. A gift in any amount will help us to maintain the world-class projection you've come to know and love from the Coolidge. Learn more here or make a gift online. Please contact our Development Office at development@coolidge.org or 617-734-2501 for more information about the Film Forever Fund.
