Cinemateca Portuguesa

Cinemateca Portuguesa is a public institution dedicated to the diffusion and preservation of the filmic arts in Portugal and, in particular, of Portuguese Cinema. It functions as a film archive and promotes daily screenings of worldwide films at its headquarters, now located on Rua Barata Salgueiro in Lisbon. It was established in 1948.

The Cinemateca Portuguesa provides film festivals, film screenings, presentations, a museum exhibition, a bookshop, and a restaurant.

Between 2001 and 2002 the restoration work of the building was carried out by architects Alberto Castro Nunes and António Maria Braga, winners of the 2019 Rafael Manzano Prize.
