The Royal Belgian Film Archive [1] ( French: Cinémathèque Royale de Belgique; [2] Dutch: Koninklijk Belgisch Filmarchief [3]) is a cinematheque located in the Centre for Fine Arts, in Brussels, Belgium. It is often referred to as CINEMATEK (a homophone of cinémathèque).
The cinematheque was established in 1938 as a film archive [1] by Henri Storck, André Thirifays, and Piet Vermeylen.
In 2002 the Film Museum founded by Jacques Ledoux, Constantin Brodzki and Corneille Hannoset was integrated into the archive to become a cinematheque. [4]
In 2009 it became known as "CINEMATEK". [3] [2] [5]
Its collection include works on film by Man Ray, Duchamp and Léger. [6] As of 2018, the archive held 47,726 films and over a hundred-thousand film materials, with over eight thousand of the items originating from Belgium. [7] The challenges associated with managing the collection were discussed in a 2001 article [7] by Gabrielle Claes who served as director of the archive from 1988 until 2011. [8] [9]
CINEMATEK led the organization of the EXPRMNTL film festival which was run four times: 1949, 1958, 1963, 1967, and 1974. [10] [11] The festival is depicted in the 2016 film Exprmntl which was shown in 2019 at the London Short Film Festival. [12] [13]
