Sydney Cinémathèque presents some of the most daring screen experiences in Australia. From retrospective seasons on celluloid, to contemporary releases heralding thrilling new voices, explore the ever-changing state of moving image art at the Art Gallery.

Expect an expanded program of screenings, talks, and special events celebrating cinema as a communal experience. Sessions take place on Wednesdays and weekends in a 339-seat theatre.

Since the year 2000, generations of audiences have come together to watch curated films at the Art Gallery, from Technicolour melodrama to gritty New Hollywood classics and rare 35mm prints of French nouvelle vague classics direct from Paris. We've welcomed acclaimed directors through our doors including Jafar Panahi, Jane Campion, Gillian Armstrong, Isaac Julien and more. Read about our past programs.

Join us as we inaugurate a new era of screen culture in Sydney, a UNESCO City of Film.
