Millennium Film Workshop

Founded in 1966 and operating continuously in downtown Manhattan ever since, the Millennium Film Workshop is a world-renowned media art center dedicated to the study, exhibition, and practice of independent, experimental film, video, and all technologies of the moving image.

Our wide range of programs and services place great value on the role artists play in stimulating social change, cultural awareness, and inspiring creativity in others. Much of the work shown and created at Millennium engages ideas and issues rarely covered in mainstream media, and acquaints audiences with new points of view that transcend race, ethnicity, class, age, and geography. To ensure the work resonates with viewers, we provide a forum for discussion and debate through a journal publication and open dialogue between artist and audience at shows.


Operating in pursuit of the notion that film/video is an art form and should be available to all who share this common interest, we uphold an open-door ethos that incorporates affordable workshops and media making facilities; and exhibition opportunities for artists regardless of level of accomplishment, experience, or background. Our programs have made it possible for many people to enter and work in the field while cultivating a famously diverse and inclusive artistic community where challenging works develop and inspire. In addition, Millennium has enabled some of the most accomplished avant-garde filmmakers and performers of the last four decades to experiment in ways that would be inappropriate for mainstream venues that attract larger audiences. In 1991, The Museum of Modern Art paid tribute to Millennium for our 25th Anniversary by presenting a 13-show program of groundbreaking films that had premiered at Millennium over the years, effectively recognizing the organization's significance as a place where social, cultural, and aesthetic boundaries are challenged and broken.
