American Cinematheque - Egyptian Theatre

About

The American Cinematheque is a non-profit, viewer-supported cultural organization dedicated exclusively to the public presentation of the Moving Picture in all its forms. The Cinematheque presents the best of film and video - ranging form the classics to the outer frontiers of the art form.

Purpose

The American Cinematheque was created in 1981:

- to honor and promote America’s indigenious art form -- the Moving Picture;

- to present the full range of film and video, not otherwise available to the widest possible audience;

-  to establish a forum for an on-going dialogue between filmmakers and filmgoers; 

- to provide a high profile exhibition facility for other independent film and video organizations;

- to encourage and support new talent by creating a showcase for their work.
