The Filmoteca de Catalunya did not exist as so until 1981. Instead, since 1963 to 1981 it was the Spanish Filmoteca's delegation in Barcelona. In 1981, once a democratic regime had been reestablished in Spain, the Spanish Filmoteca transferred its responsibilities and cultural competences to the Generalitat de Catalunya, which then created the Filmoteca de Catalunya. Since its foundation, the Filmoteca de Catalunya depends on the Culture Department of the Catalan government.
For some years, the Filmoteca de Catalunya's main activity was the daily screening of worldwide and Catalan films. Yet efforts were soon made to create a film collection, and consequently a Film Archive, now called Centre de Conservació i Restauració (in Catalan), was founded in 1992.

Compelling location surrounded by interesting new food and drink spots. A bold building and bare entrance, totally unlike a commercial cinema. All sorts of films from everywhere, always in the original version. Comfy seating and good sound. Totally delighted it's in my neighbourhood.

Fantastic art house cinema.
Good films (only €4 or cheaper with a library card).
And the bar/cafe La Monroe is excellent.

The good old cinema experience for nostalgic, self-respecting moviegoers.
