The Cinematheque (legal name: Pacific Cinémathèque Pacifique), founded in 1972, is a Canadian charity and non-profit film institute, media education centre, and film exhibitor based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The organization’s mission is to foster the appreciation of the art and legacy of cinema, and to advance critical thinking and thoughtful education about the impact of moving-images and screen-based media in society. The Cinematheque offers a year-round program of curated film exhibitions (more than 500 screenings annually) devoted to important classic and contemporary Canadian and world cinema, and encompassing film and moving images in their various narrative/dramatic, documentary, animated, and experimental forms. These presentations include retrospectives of important directors, significant national cinemas, and historical film movements; new Canadian and international films; revivals and restorations of masterpieces of world cinema; major international touring exhibitions; showcases of avant-garde and other artist-driven moving-image work; and guest appearances by filmmakers, film historians, and cultural critics.
