Welcome to the Melbourne Cinémathèque for 2007

We are a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to importing and screening significant films from the history of international cinema. We have hosted numerous seminars featuring renowned film scholars such as David Bordwell and Ian Christie. Each year we put together retrospectives spanning several weeks spotlighting particular cinematic movements, periods, actors and auteurs. You can learn more about the history of our organisation here, and explore previous years' calendars here.

We hold screenings every Wednesday night at ACMI Cinemas, Federation Square between 7 and 11.30pm. You may search for films we are screening by date or title here.

We are also dedicated to providing new annotations on the films we screen via the CTEQ annotations, hosted as a part of the quarterly online film journal Senses of Cinema.

Curated by Michael Koller, Michelle Carey, Adrian Danks and Dylan Rainforth with assistance from Teague Schneiter-Todd.
