American Cinematheque - Egyptian Theatre
About
The American Cinematheque is a non-profit, viewer-supported cultural organization dedicated exclusively to the public presentation of the Moving Picture in all its forms. The Cinematheque presents the best of film and video - ranging form the classics to the outer frontiers of the art form.
Purpose
The American Cinematheque was created in 1981:
- to honor and promote America’s indigenious art form -- the Moving Picture;
- to present the full range of film and video, not otherwise available to the widest possible audience;
- to establish a forum for an on-going dialogue between filmmakers and filmgoers;
- to provide a high profile exhibition facility for other independent film and video organizations;
- to encourage and support new talent by creating a showcase for their work.
