The National Society of Film Critics counts among its members many of the country's leading film critics. Its purpose is to promote the mutual interests of film criticism and filmmaking.
Founded in l966, the Society differs from other critical associations in a number of significant ways. In the first place, it is truly national. Its members include critics from major papers in Los Angeles, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Denver. Its members also include the critics not just of THE WALL Street Journal, The Nation, and The New Yorker, but also of THE VILLAGE Voice, The Boston Herald, and prominent online sites. Second, membership is by election.
