It is located at 355 De Maisonneuve Boulevard East, in the city's Quartier Latin, which is also part of the new Quartier des Spectacles cultural district.[4] The Institut national de l'image et du son is located next door.[5]
History
The Connaissance du cinéma, soon after renamed the Cinémathèque canadienne, was founded in 1963.[6][7]
In 1971 the institution was renamed Cinémathèque québécoise.[8]
The Cinémathèque complex was extensively redesigned from 1994 to 1997 by the architectural firm of Saucier + Perrotte.[9] Awards for the design included the 1999 Governor General's Award for Architecture.[10]
In 2017 the Cinémathèque québécoise collaborated with the Vancouver Cinematheque, the Toronto International Film Festival and Library and Archives Canada mounted a retrospective of 150 culturally significant films.[11]
