Cinematheque is our regular, non-formal screening and discussion programme focusing on important movements, directors, artists and auteurs from the history of local and international cinemas. Through this free and public programme we aim to share and discuss our references about and from films. We rely on your support and donations to ensure that we can continue running this public programme for free. Every Saturday 5 pm.

All films are screened either outdoor (projected on the wall) or indoor (on a small 17-inch TV), depending on the weather and LCD projector availability. Contact us for further information and inquiries.
