"The Cinematheque, Downtown Yaletown by Becki Chan & Milos Begovic. For decades now, the Cinematheque has been providing Vancouver with a truly uncommon movie-going experience. One would only expect to find a cinema like this in a much bigger city. Their stated purpose is simple and direct - to deliver "essential cinema". The program consists of a wide assortment of curated exhibitions, featuring contemporary films, domestic and foreign, as well as classics and curiosities. The Howe Street premises include a clean and comfortable 200-seat theatre, but also the Film Reference Library and West Coast Film Archive. Cinematheque hosts a number of local film festivals.
