Cinemateca Uruguaya, Film archive and cultural center in Centro, Montevideo, Uruguay.
The Cinemateca Uruguaya operates four theaters across Montevideo, featuring modern digital projection equipment and accommodating 400 seats for film screenings.
Founded on April 21, 1952, the Cinemateca emerged from two cineclubs and developed into Latin America's largest film archive during the 1970s.
The institution maintains a documentation center containing over 20,000 film titles, photographs, posters, and publications that document Uruguay's cinematic heritage.
Located on Bartolomé Mitre and Reconquista streets since 2018, the venue offers regular screenings of premiere and auteur films throughout the year.
During Uruguay's military regime from 1973 to 1985, the Cinemateca functioned as a meeting point where people gathered despite restrictions on public assemblies.
