About the Albie Awards

The Albie Awards, created in the name of our late founder, Albert Maysles, is Maysles Documentary Center's most important fundraiser of the year. The award honors filmmakers who have inspired us with their work and broader contributions as mentors, role models, and champions for social justice. All proceeds support Maysles Documentary Center's filmmaking education programs for youth from Harlem and the South Bronx, as well as our 50-seat theater, the only arthouse cinema north of 96th Street.
