La Cinémathèque française
After a long residency at the Palais de Chaillot, the Cinémathèque française has since September 2005 made its home within the modern building designed by the architect Frank Gehry in Paris’ 12th district. Enjoying fresh support, the Cinémathèque is now in a position to exhibit, host, restore, and display its collections in three exhibition spaces, programmed films on three screens, receive students and researchers in its library and archive centre, and organise educational events for young audiences. Rich with experience, the Cinémathèque française continues to fulfill its original mission: preserving and restoring films and archives within its collections, programming major classics.
