The Cinémathèque québécoise is a unique institution dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of cinema, television and new media. Preserving this national and international common heritage is a fundamental part of its mission, while public screenings and exhibitions make these great riches available to all.

The Cinémathèque is a non-profit organisation devoted to the past and committed to the future. It promotes contemporary artistic creation and is an important pillar of the audio-visual industry.
A museum of moving images, the Cinémathèque is recognised by the federal and provincial governments and by the country’s major culture agencies. It enjoys great credibility among the principal actors in the cinema, television and new media sectors. The Cinemáthèque’s Répertoire Audiovisuel Québec is a tool for documenting Quebec’s audio-visual production. It contains more than 23,000 titles of audio-visual works of every length produced by individuals or companies established in Quebec dating back more than a century.
