Welcome to the Cinémathèque québécoise

The Cinémathèque québécoise became a member of FIAF in 1964. That was over 60 years ago. The 2025 FIAF Congress therefore builds on a long history of friendship and cooperation between the Cinémathèque and its counterparts around the world. This event is a wonderful opportunity for our team and our colleagues in Quebec to meet and discuss with fellow archivists, programmers and film archive managers as members of a community brought together by a shared passion.

We are pleased to host the 2025 Congress; all those attending can expect to be warmly received, in true Montreal fashion. We look forward to welcoming you in our city at the crossroads of Francophone and Anglophone cultures, rooted in a deep respect for the First Nations who have long called this land home.

Executive Director
