About

The Cinematheque

1131 Howe Street Vancouver BC map
The Cinematheque, founded in 1972, is a film institute and media education centre devoted to understanding the art and history of Canadian and international cinema and the impact of moving images and screen-based media in our lives. Our public activities include a year-round calendar of curated film exhibitions devoted to important classic and contemporary films and filmmakers; and an array of community outreach programs offering interactive learning opportunities in film appreciation, filmmaking, media literacy, and critical thinking.

The Cinematheque’s collections include a Film Reference Library housing thousands of film-related books and periodicals, and a West Coast Film Archive holding some 2,000 Canadian motion pictures, including a core collection of historically and artistically significant British Columbian works.

We value cinema as a communal and transformative experience; believe in the importance of inclusivity and diversity in programming; and are committed to showcasing the finest achievements of local and national artists along with the best cinema from around the world.

We envision a society enriched by the understanding and appreciation of cinema as an art form and enlightened by thoughtful education about the impact of moving-image media in our lives. We are a cultural and educational institution that excites and educates our community about the art, impact, and legacy of cinema and screen-based media.

We value:
• Cinema as a communal and transformative art form
• Excellence in our programming, business, and brand
• Inclusivity and diversity in our programming and overall organization
• The fostering of local and national talent, and Canadian cinema overall
• Reaching, inspiring, and educating new audiences
