Centers: Film Study Center

Celebrating our 30th Anniversary in 2013, the Yale Film Study Center is committed to the preservation of, and access to, resources for the scholarly study and appreciation of cinema. Activities include facilitating film exhibition and managing a continually expanding collection of films in many formats. Visit us in the Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall Street.

Departments and faculty can request projectionist services for 35mm and 16mm screenings in the Whitney Humanities Center Auditorium (seating 240) and room 106 at 212 York Street (seating 55) -- both equipped with Dolby stereo surround sound. Another form is available for faculty to reserve videos for check-out at the Film Study Center.

Browse the recent acquisitions lists, and learn about using our DVD, Blu-ray and VHS collection for on-site viewing or off-site loans. We have over 26,000 items from 150 countries, spanning the history of film, from Edison's MONKEYSHINES, NO. 1 (1889) to LINCOLN (2012); from Melies to Scorsese's HUGO -- which you can see in 3D at the Film Study Center.
