OUR IMPACT
Since its founding in 1961, San Francisco Cinematheque has presented nearly 5,000 film and video screenings, featuring tens of thousands of works of avant-garde and experimental cinema. Through screenings, publications and archives, Cinematheque has helped establish the Bay Area as a major international center for artist-made film. In 2026, we presented or co-presented nearly 60 screenings and events, reached over 4,500 viewers, welcomed filmmakers from around the world and continued expanding our physical and digital archives, furthering our long-standing commitment to artists and audiences.

LOOKING AHEAD
Last year, in response to the loss of significant National Endowment for the Arts funding, Cinematheque’s community rallied to raise nearly $50,000, helping sustain our programming, archives and artist support throughout 2026. We need this help again! As we look toward 2027, continued individual support remains essential to our sustainability. Contributions directly support our screenings, archives and small staff, helping ensure that Cinematheque remains a vital, independent, artist-centered voice in the arts. Please support Cinematheque in 2026!
