The Maysles Documentary Center in Harlem is an independent film house dedicated to presenting documentary films and videos and committed to opening dialogues between filmmakers and the public. Founded by the late legendary director Albert Maysles in 2005, the Center offers a packed calendar of screenings and post-screening forums every month. The Center also runs educational, after-school and summer programs, a filmmaker’s collaborative for adults, internships, and a junior filmmaker’s program. From the winter of 2018 through the fall of 2019, Maysles Documentary Center presented The American Experiment (1969–2019), a year-long film series highlighting the significance and continued importance of the experimental film movement in the U.S.
