Haifa Cinematheque, Film center in Carmel Center, Haifa, Israel.
Haifa Cinematheque is a film center in Carmel Center that screens over 40 different films monthly across two theaters. The program combines restored classics with contemporary international releases.
Founded in 1973 by Lia van Leer, the cinematheque began with screenings in the Van Leers' private residence. It later developed into a dedicated film institution.
The venue hosts the annual Haifa International Film Festival during Sukkot, bringing together local and international filmmakers and audiences. This event creates a sense of shared experience around cinema in the city.
The center offers multiple daily screenings to accommodate various schedules. Tickets can be purchased conveniently through WhatsApp.
The facility relocated in 2010 to a new building near Lev Ha'mifratz shopping mall. This move provided improved facilities for screenings and community activities.
