On the occasion of the UPCB’s centenary in 2025, CINEMATEK joins the celebration by inviting members of the Union to present, throughout the year, on the third Thursday of each month, a selection of 12 films awarded by UPCB journalists since the association’s inception. In March, the members decided to highlight Les Rendez-vous d’Anna by Chantal Akerman.

CINEMATEK
While most people can easily define what a museum or library is, understanding the purpose and mission of a “Cinémathèque” or Film Archive can be more complicated. What does the term “Cinémathèque” mean, and what role does it play? What happens behind its doors once the projectors are turned off and the audience has left? In two articles, CINEMATEK will explore its dual role—both as a museum and on its mission of preservation and restoration. We will share the history of our spaces and invite you to explore them through an online immersive 3D tour.
