Cinemateca Portuguesa, Film archive and movie theater in central Lisbon, Portugal.
Cinemateca Portuguesa is a film archive and movie theater in Lisbon housed in a building on Rua Barata Salgueiro. The facility features two screening rooms, a film collection, a museum, and an extensive media archive.
The institution was founded in 1948 as an archive of Portuguese cinema. It relocated to its present building in 1982 and expanded its collection of film equipment and works.
