First and foremost they are a museum of cinematography, showcasing two exhibits. The history of animation is their permanent fixture upstairs, while the downstairs showroom's exhibits are ever changing. There are two theatres that show films daily, and with wide variety. Films can be repertory, documentary, or even current American blockbusters, and are always shown in their original form.
Monthly retrospectives highlight the works of one director, selected from every genre of filmmaking.
The Cinematheque's documentation centre is a brilliant resource for anyone interested in or studying film. Here one can find a plethora of books, magazines, articles, CD-ROMs, and films to view from the video library. Connected to other cinametheques globally the cinematic information is endless, as they strive to preserve, store and archive every film they can get their hands on. Under the same roof still is a boutique offering anything with a movie theme, including optical toys, as well as a quaint restaurant for chewing more than just the fat about the movie you just saw.
