Chatham Film Club

The Chatham Film Club, located at 48 Main Street in Chatham, New York, is a nonprofit organization that owns and operates the historic Crandell Theatre. Recently, the film club has appointed Annie Brody as its first executive director. With a background in nonprofit management and community service, Brody brings a wealth of experience to the organization.

Under Brody's leadership, the film club aims to enhance the value of the Crandell Theatre, collaborate with local businesses, and attract new audiences. The club also produces Film-Columbia, an annual film festival that showcases a diverse range of films.
