Cinélibre - Cinéart
50 years
The Belgian distributor Cinéart was founded just 50 years ago under the name Cinélibre. This 50-film program, curated by the Cinéart team, aims to highlight the richness, quality, and variety of a catalogue that subtly reflects a commitment to championing a cinema that, decade after decade, offers a specific perspective on the world.
Cinéart is a cornerstone of independent art-house film distribution, first in Belgium and later throughout the entire Benelux region. Founded in Brussels in 1975 by Eliane Dubois, its mission was to bring to life an engaged, sometimes militant cinema that reflected the political and artistic ferment of the 1970s. These were meteoric films, screened with urgency and artistic risk, free from commercial safeguards. Subsequently, the focus shifted to auteur cinema, centering on some of the world's art-house flagships, to illustrate the motto: “Cinema: a living art”. Finally, it nurtured a true pool of up-and-coming works. From Ken Loach to Abbas Kiarostami, from the Dardenne brothers to Emir Kusturica, and from Takeshi Kitano to Jim Jarmusch, Cinéart has shown unwavering loyalty to these filmmakers who, film after film, have built a distinct body of work.
Cinéart's 50th anniversary is a celebration of its steadfast commitment to quality films, artistic risk-taking, and innovation in distribution, from its 16mm beginnings to its current role as a key player in modern cinema.
