The Cinémathèque Leipzig e.V., founded in spring 1991, positions itself as a central place for cultural and social engagement with and about film. As a registered association, emerging from the AG Kommunales Kino Leipzig, the Cinémathèque has developed into a diverse and dynamic platform.
The Cinémathèque Leipzig sees itself as a collectively and networked working platform that promotes participatory, emancipatory collaborations and critical perspectives. The association aims to create a place where cultural and social debates can be held, across different art forms. A central concern is the barrier-free accessibility of events for all guests and staff, regardless of their possible limitations, social and economic situations, or interpersonal preferences[3].
The Cinémathèque Leipzig has underscored its significance through numerous awards, including the "Lotte-Eisner-Preis" and the "Gilde-Filmpreis" in 2020[3].
Through its diverse activities and commitment to an open and critical engagement with film and society, the Cinémathèque Leipzig e.V. has carved out a distinctive place in the cultural landscape of Leipzig.
