Liam + Ümit · Keeping film aliveCiné Real Cinematheque
A new home for film.
This has been the culmination of a lot of work. Inspired by our trip to Los Angeles, we wanted to create a place where film is not simply stored or talked about, but projected, handled, cut, shot and shared.
The Cinematheque brings together a public screening room, our archive and hands-on workshops. The machines will be used, the knowledge will be passed on and the films will come off the shelf.
Learn the craft
Workshops
Small, practical sessions taught on the real equipment that keeps film moving.
Editing
Cut with your hands on a 16mm Steenbeck flatbed and a 35mm Moviola. Learn the rhythm, concentration and craft of analogue editing.

The public cinema
16mm from our archive.
To begin, the screening room will open to the public once a week. We'll choose a 16mm film from our archive and show it properly on our 16mm projector.
A regular night for discovery, conversation and the particular magic of a real print passing through a projector.

Why we built it
Keep film alive.
Keep the shop going.
Every workshop booking, cinema ticket and visit helps us continue the work: caring for the archive, teaching the practical skills and keeping analogue film culture in motion.
