Groups & schools

A group activity at CINEMATEK is a joy for all ages. Motion pictures are ubiquitous today, yet film was only invented 125 years ago, in 1895. We tell the story of the science, technology and magic with which people move images through fascinating objects, adapted to each specific group. Have the unique experience of a silent film with live music, simply organize a private screening for your group, or choose from the workshops for young filmfans

Venue rental

CINEMATEK, the Royal Film Archive of Belgium, located in the heart of Brussels, offers an ideal space for events, conferences and receptions in a building designed by Victor Horta and characterized by austerity, purity and timelessness. Our rooms and our foyer can be rented and are equipped with the latest technology in digital projection, which makes it possible to organize various events such as film screenings or conferences.

CINEMA’KET

CINEMA’KET is CINEMATEK's new event for young film lovers! Whether you're young or old, cinema makes us laugh, cry or shiver... By filling us with wonder, surprising us and making us question things, it transports us into thousands of stories, from here and elsewhere, where we may sometimes speak a different language but where emotions are always universal.

Publications

Over the years, we have contributed to various publications and have also published a number ourselves. These were both publications for a specialist audience as well as for a wider audience.

Below you can find a selection from this diversity of publications.

About us

The Royal Film Archive of Belgium was founded in 1938 by Henri Storck, André Thirifays and Pierre Vermeylen. The first curator (from 1948 to 1988), and also founder of the Filmmuseum (1962), was Jacques Ledoux. Today Tomas Leyers is curator. Isabelle Molhant is Chair of the Board of Directors; Luc Dardenne and Fien Troch are Vice-Chairs.
