Американская синематека — независимая некоммерческая культурная организация в Лос-Анджелесе, Калифорния , США, занимающаяся исключительно публичной презентацией движущегося изображения во всех его формах.
Синематека была создана в 1981 году как ответвление ежегодного кинофестиваля Filmex в Лос-Анджелесе, который проходил каждый год с 1971 по 1983 год. После пяти лет сбора средств и планирования Синематека запустила свою первую серию показов в 1987 году. В ней представлены фестивали и ретроспективы, демонстрирующие лучшее из мирового кино, видео и телевидения прошлого и настоящего, от классики до передовых границ этого вида искусства. Помимо представления и прославления всех аспектов кинематографа на большом экране, Синематека также представляет собой форум, на котором любители кино и студенты могут узнать о своем ремесле у ведущих мировых режиссеров, актеров, писателей, редакторов, кинематографистов и других.
Theaters
[edit]Between 1987 and 1998, the Cinematheque presented its programs at a variety of venues, including the Directors Guild of America theater and the Raleigh Studios complex in Hollywood. In December 1998, it opened its own permanent home at the Egyptian in Hollywood, and in 2004 added a second theater, the Aero Theatre, in Santa Monica. It now presents festivals, retrospectives, and assorted programs at these two theaters.[1]
Grauman's Egyptian Theatre is the Hollywood movie palace built in 1922 by showman Sid Grauman (four years prior to opening his Chinese Theatre). It was the location of Hollywood's first-ever movie premiere in 1922. In 1998, the American Cinematheque completed a major $12.8 million renovation that restored the theater's exterior to its original form, and added new film, video, and audio technology.[2] In May 2020, Netflix became the owner of the theater.[3]
The Aero Theatre in Santa Monica is a 1940 landmark movie theater that has also been renovated by the American Cinematheque.[4][5]
Programming
[edit]Film Festivals
[edit]The American Cinematheque is home to a number of annual film festivals, which cover diverse topics, genres, and international cinemas. Its annual Beyond Fest is the highest attended genre film festival in the U.S.[6]
For the last 22 years, the Cinematheque has partnered with the Film Noir Foundation on its longest running festival, Noir City: Hollywood, that celebrates the history of film noir.[7] Nitrate Nights, one of The American Cinematheque's newer film festivals, offers rare chances to see films on 35mm nitrate film base, a format abandoned in the early 1950s due to its highly flammable quality. After being retrofitted to project nitrate safely in 2016, the Cinematheque has since partnered with such film archives as the George Eastman Museum, the Library of Congress, the Academy Film Archive and the UCLA Film and Television Archive to bring rare archival prints to the screen for the public.[8][9]
The Cinematheque also partners annually with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to present the Golden Globe Foreign-Language Nominees Series, which includes screenings of the year's nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.[10] Every year, the series has culminated in a panel discussion symposium with the directors of the five nominated films.[11]
