The Film Center Building is an office building featuring businesses involved in film, theatre, music and audio production and exploitation. It is located at 630 Ninth Avenue between 44th and 45th Streets in the Hell's Kitchen, or "Clinton", neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was built in 1928-29 and was designed in Art Deco style by Ely Jacques Kahn of the firm of Buchman & Kahn.[2][3]
The building's interior, which shows pre-Columbian influences,[2] was designated a New York City landmark in 1982, and the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Of particular interest is the polychromatic elevator lobby mosaic.[2][3]
