Our Legacy
Heritage in Motion
The Cinémathèque de Marseille stands as a guardian of visual memory, strengthening cultural life by preserving and providing access to a vast archive of films, publications, and audiovisual materials.
Through exhibitions, screenings, and collaborations with international cinémathèques, we connect diverse audiences with cinematic heritage and contemporary practice. We believe that cinema is not just an art form, but a vital language for cultural exchange and community engagement.
