Remix brings together images from various films and periods, creating unique connections, and four Moviolas unlock Belgian non-fiction films from the archives. Viewing Space complements the ongoing programs with documentaries, interviews and reports. There is also attention to the written word, with books and magazines and press cuttings and posters in showcases.

    CINEMATEK, located in Brussels, Belgium, is a treasure trove for film enthusiasts and casual moviegoers alike. This film archive and museum offers a comprehensive look into the history of cinema, with a vast collection of films from various eras and genres.

    Visitors appreciate the museum's extensive film library, which includes both classic and contemporary works. The regular screenings of rare and restored films are highly praised, providing an opportunity to experience cinema history on the big screen. Many reviewers commend the quality of the projections and the comfortable seating in the theaters.

    The museum's exhibitions are informative and well-curated, showcasing film memorabilia, vintage equipment, and interactive displays that illustrate the evolution of filmmaking techniques. Some visitors note that while the exhibits are interesting, they might be somewhat limited compared to larger film museums.

    CINEMATEK's staff receives positive mentions for their knowledge and passion for cinema. However, a few reviewers point out that not all information is available in multiple languages, which can be a drawback for international visitors.

    The museum's location in the heart of Brussels is convenient, though some find the building's exterior a bit unassuming. The on-site café is appreciated for its relaxed atmosphere, making it a nice spot to discuss films after a screening.

    While CINEMATEK is primarily praised for its film screenings and archives, some visitors mention that the museum aspect could be expanded to provide a more comprehensive experience. Additionally, a few reviewers suggest that the ticketing system and schedule information could be more user-friendly.

    Overall, CINEMATEK is well-regarded for its contribution to film preservation and education in Brussels. It offers a solid experience for film lovers, though there's room for improvement in terms of multilingual support and exhibit expansion.
