The Filmoteca de Catalunya was set up in 1981 to preserve country's film heritage. Since 2012, its new home has been a spectacular building in the middle of the Raval neighbourhood.

Dissemination, documentation and preservation

The “Filmo”, as it is popularly known among locals and which was previously located in the higher part of the city, is dedicated to everything that has anything to do with cinematographic culture. It shows classic movies, but is also a place for festivals and programmes exploring new audiovisual languages. I addition, the Filmoteca is a leader in the field of film research: it preserves thousands of movies from private collections that make up the country’s film heritage. The main advantage is that here, the cost of enjoying good cinema is well below market price.

Conservation and Restoration Centre

The neighbouring town of Terrassa is home to the Filmoteca de Catalunya’s Restoration and Conservation Centre. Here you can discover how films are restored, catalogued and preserved in both photochemical and digital formats. A visit allows you to enter the cold storage chambers where the archives are kept. Filmoteca de Catalunya is part of the Raval Cultural project, a collection of over three hundred cultural offerings from the neighbourhood.
